[@DeekshithSN]

Thanks for watching and listing out the list of questions :)

[@ravinaborkar807]

answer bhi likhte to acha hota

[@gayatrisakhi5303]

Thanks

[@gayatrisakhi5303]

ThnQ Deekshith.. So very helpful for my upcoming interview..

[@DeekshithSN]

I am really happy that this video helped you in your interviews 🙂🙂

[@chandanpinacle3455]

you are a gem sir in this paid world.

[@krishnabhuvanagiri9842]

For the 6th question we can utilize workspace concept as well..using terraform workspace commands ..it will create an env folder with multiple terraform state files.

[@dsosys]

10:36 I would say, I will restrict access to all my team mmbers with Cloud Least permission to avoid manual changes. Then through CICD I sent my latest repo clone to the Terraform server, which again does not have access to all infra team. This way, only the CICD has the ability to make change the infra. 22:05 what about depends_on ? A sleep technique cannot be guaranteed a resource creation. Sometimes it will take long or less than usual.

[@PrasadPuppala-ry1lj]

Thanks a lot ❤❤❤❤❤❤..best video in terraform in this KZbin..

[@DeekshithSN]

Thx for watching, glad it helped you :)

[@shivpatil1315]

9th question's answer is wrong if you mark a resource as taint it would get recreated during next apply if we just need to delete a resource then we need to remove that resource block from code and do terraform apply.

[@nagaripratap8894]

Alternatively, you can destroy individual resource with destroy -target=

[@sheetalkulkarni7212]

The interview is good but the way the person is answering is actually complex to understand. A simple one/two line answer is being twisted and overexplained which makes viewers annoyed and impatient. The person who is asking questions is actually simplifying the answer, which is a good thing. The questions are helpful however, the answers could have been better.

[@mohitwasnik9356]

Hello, I followed your content two years ago and I really liked it. Do you teach on Udemy?

[@DeekshithSN]

Thx for following me on youtube, I dont have any courses on udemy

[@ujjwaljagtiani5760]

For question 6th, we can use workspaces also For question 15th, we can recover the lost resources of the state file via terraform import command. 18th - use Data Sources.

[@DeekshithSN]

Thanks for the answer, it will help viewers

[@Dileepkumar-gh3ef]

Answer to 9th question is wrong To delete any specific resource terraform destroy -target=aws_instance.my_instance And terraform taint is used to recreate the resource in the next apply.
