What if we want to pass multiple variables during terraform apply, please share the syntax for that

[@kumargaurav4246]

i was expecting that when i run 2 plans with the tfvars files i would end up with 2 resources, however i end up with 1 resource that terraform want’s to replace…any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@uniquetrading9906]

Very good and informative...

[@vivekpuurkayastha1580]

when using .tfvars file, should the variables in the variable.tf file be totally empty or can it contain description and type but just not the default value?

[@Kosantosh]

Thanks for your effort to explain things simply, concept is clear, I have a query, do .tfvars file should have variables defined in variable.tf file?

[@RahulWagh]

Yes, correct

[@prafulldeshmukh5940]

Hey Rahul, which terminal you have used run the command like terraform init, etc? Is it gitbash or cmd?

[@MaheshGaikwad21]

Here is the time stamp of that particular part where I have shown how to get started with Terraform on Google Cloud - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHu7Z4Zrf6Z6pqs Click on the above link that. I am planning to upload similar lab session in upcoming weeks and months, so if you have any topic then please post here I will add it into my list //Rahul

[@ashishdeokar580]

Hello Rahul, Videos are crisped and well explained.. I do have query here.. Thank you so much for sharing a knowledge. Is it necessary to execute terraform plan 2 times for stage.tfvars & production.tfvars ? Can't we make add 2 tfvars in single command ?

[@RahulWagh]

No it is not necessary to run terraform plan two times, one time is more then sufficient

[@narenderkondisetty9704]

Excellent Job Rahul......Have a small doubt.....if i have two .tf files in one folder and when i say terraform plan and terraform apply,which .tf it will consider.

[@RahulWagh]

I guess it will consider both .tf files

Why you have not given type in variable section when you are using terraform.tfvars

[@raveendravajrala2919]

Thank you for your efforts and sharing , Can you help me what is the destroy command when we are using multiple .tfvars file for the same mail.tf , will it be >terraform destroy --var-file ="stage.tfvars" ?

[@rajivnayanverma6822]

yes

[@saeid5914]

Thank you Rahul for your great session, I couldn't run variables .tfvars codes for gcp, so far rest of variables successfully ran, can you/anyone advise please?

[@devopsprabhakar806]

Suppose we execute firat stage.tfvar and after prod.tfvar then will it overwrite the state file? Or it will update entry in state file for stage and prod both?

[@silentwatcher13]

It overrides the current state.. i want to know how we can achieve this (same state file for both tfvars) 👆🏼?..

[@RahulWagh]

If you are planning to execute the same terraform file in different environment then I would recommend using terraform workspaces because if you use stage.tfvar and then prod.tfvar it will lead to very unstable tfstate. terraform workspaces is meant to solve such problem where you can run the same infra with different profiles

[@assrpavanteja7392]

Hi Rahul , is there a way where I'll plan the code and want to issue terraform apply at some point around 11 pm in the day ? is that possible using terraform?

[@RahulWagh]

You can create a bash script and in that script you write down all of your terraform command and save them some where. After that you need to write chron job to execute that bash script at whatever time you need
