Terraform Data Sources | How to Use Data Sources? - Part 12

[@asongatabong1791]

Thanks Rahul Wagh for the explanation. Excellent video.

[@pramodsakhare5469]

Rahul, the main purpose of terraform data source is to read the resources created outside of terraform (Not in the same .tfstate file). If we create the resource using the same terraform file then we can read them directly e.g. value=aws-instance.myinstance.public_ip No need to go for data source. Or your intent was to create the resource outside of the terraform but you reduced the efforts and created using the same script? Correct me if I am wrong.

[@ashvinichavan154]

Agree

[@venkatrajeshtalasila7919]

You mean outside of current configuration , we mostly use data source when we want to refer to the resources in other infra repos ( as we maintain different repo for each resource)

[@tarunsailguntupalli4883]

Excellent Video, not sure why the views are less, Perfect teaching, now i understand clearly about the data source

Hi Sir, Thanks you for the video. I have small doubt for returning values we use data source but same this we can get through output also right? thank you

I am getting very much benefitted through your playlist. Examples are clear and very easy to understand.. would suggest to make a video of quick run up on certification questions, as there is fewer content on certifications aspect for Terraform. Thanks a lot :)

[@RahulWagh]

Noted. I will add to my checklist but to be honest the complete terraform playlist which i have prepared with the aim of sharing some practical knowledge and it will off course help you to get your terraform certification

Question - How do you pass a parameter to aws lamda in terraform . Essentially I created aws managed active directory, I need to pass the directory_id as a parameter to aws lambda( created outside of terraform by some body) which creates aws log group and subscription. My question is how to pass the parameter to aws lambda using terraform with that parameter lambda executes

[@byronliu6381]

Hi Rahul, thanks for the sharing. I'm using data source to fetch the instance ids. When I create cloudwatch dashboard and wanna refer to each values of data.aws_instances.XX.ids, how can I write the code? I use ${data.aws_instances.XX.ids[0]}, ${data.aws_instances.XX.ids[1]} and there should be a better way I guess.

[@sathishdarshanala6137]

Hi rahul iam one of your subscriber learning terraform by watching your channel with that i have a question if we want to make changes in aws security group how can we do with terraform scripts? thanks in advance

[@RahulWagh]

Hi satish you can manage the aws security group but it is going to be a lot terraform script you need to write probably i could come up with some session. It would be really hard to explain everything in the comment section

[@sathishdarshanala6137]

@@RahulWagh no worries. Thanks for your quick response

Hi! is it posible to filter data sources by labels instead of tags?

[@RahulWagh]

I haven’t tried but I guess it should be possible using labels
