[@RahulWagh]

Thanks for the feedback

[@jitenderpal3588]

very well explained Rahul bhai..I have seen many videos earlier as well on Terraform but I find your videos easy to understand. Thanks for putting hard work

[@RahulWagh]

So nice of you

[@ssar-np7uo]

I was looking for tf in Realtime use. And i got it !!.Great videos.Continue your work.

[@ashokreddysatti9475]

Nice explanation Rahul wagh sir,i seen many video's about locals but not got clarity,after your video i got clarity..

[@udaykiran-je5ps]

What is the difference between normal var declared variables and this locals variable?

[@cirishafranky]

I think difference between var n locals is that vars can be assigned using env vars Or tfvars file etc. But locals are defined in the script itself.. Cannot accept assignment from outside

[@happylearningtricks]

thanks Rahul for your valuable content.

[@RahulWagh]

You are welcome

[@ChristopherKMEtou]

Are there any rule on excessive use of local variables? Due to the face that variables don' t allow other variables as value, can I use locals to abstract variables and their pass those locals as input of variable in modules?

[@aruntaprial3704]

Thanks for the quality content having variables or locals is good in case we want to change only a single value what in case there is a requirement to change 2 values in the tag example stage-application-projectname i dont want to hardcode stage and projectname, just want to set it as per requirement using varibles or locals or anything you suggest it should be something like environment-application-projectname where i can pass the values for environment like stage or dev or prod and any projectname for the projectname .. can you please provide the syntax for the same or guide a bit

[@ravitejamerugu3587]

the same can be achieved with variable block inside main.tf or variables.tf file. then what is the difference this local variables make? please explain.

[@RahulWagh]

local variables are useful when you have a multimodule terraform project where you are have already defined some variable inside your variable.tf but you do not want to use same variable in your other module then in that case you are going to need local variables so that their scope is just limited to that particular module

@@RahulWagh gotcha, thanks alot ✅

@@RahulWagh nice video..but would have been nice if you mentioned this important point in the video

[@RahulWagh]

Yeah I agree sometimes there are so many thoughts while preparing these type of sessions so it just easy to forget

[@forexmeter3900]

Very well explained!

[@jeeldasvani5015]

can we set value of locals by command line ??

[@MuhammadWaqas-gr4gg]

I am confused between the variable and Local??? Whats the difference between them??? Secondly I am using Local.name without putting any $ sign in start....and its working....so is it mandatory to use $ sign or it can work either way???please help to explain the above 2 queries.....thanks

[@cirishafranky]

I think $ is used wen we need to concatenate some string like "mystring" to variable like "${local.staging_env}-mystring". And difference between var n locals is that vars can be assigned using env vars Or tfvars file. But locals are defined in the script itself.. Cannot accept assignment from outside..

[@sathyar7078]

I like all your videos and this is very good . I am mainly working on Azure and your videos really helps me in understanding core concepts . And I have one doubt , can we import multiple resources at a single time ?

[@RahulWagh]

What kind of resources you wanna import in terraform?

[@saiteju8169]

Great tutorial, do you have a complete udemy course of terraform with gcp and k8s???

[@RahulWagh]

Not yet but I am planning to launch the course soon

[@massiccreation2981]
