Love to help! Join us on Discord in the link from the description.

Thank you for your encouragement, Rahul! I do need to get back on the wagon :(

In one way, TF always duplicates modules locally when you run *init*. The reason you might exercise changes on that module is just out of simplicity. Terraform will reference the local module until you run an init again (forced if necessary). I found in my time working with large systems it was helpful to work out problems in your initialized Terraform instance while still progressing work, and then moving my changes back into the modules git repo after I had validated my work. In my case, the sub-modules are actually stored in a separate repo from the Terraform root module so that they can be version controlled separately.

Check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3-bgmZ6fsl2brM - it addresses a way to use vaulted secrets as a way to feed values into separate config management or IaC runs.

I might have meant kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZLUk5p3l7h8atE - That one specifically speaks to Azure Key Vault as the means to share data. The previous one is a technique I developed that uses AKV to pass data from one TF execution to another in a series. In this way, you can have large, complicated orchestrations without bloated state files and nuclear resource dependencies in the monolithic configurations.

It is a good intro for something new, have you tought about migration from manual deployment to IaC?

Thanks for the comment! I recently shared detailed pictures from that video to our Discord subscribers to help with this one, but I'll check into ensuring we're capturing higher resolution screen shares too.

Thanks for the reminder! Definitely an intention, just something we haven't gotten to yet. Let me see what I can take care of now!

@@git_it No worries, I just wanted to reach out because the examples are really great and will be nice to have that at hand, sometimes when you are into it, it get's confused and if you have a good example at hand to remember you how everything works that make such a big different. Anyway Thank you once again for the time taken in producing these videos, they are really really useful.

Hit me up anytime, brother! If you join us on Discord, we can get together there as well.

Thanks, Mei! Such an honor to have you aboard!

This is great! tfenv can handle versions through a custom params file (.terraform-version) or environment variables, but something more native to the TF code helps your engineers maintain good coding practice.
