What is Terragrunt and how to use Terragrunt? | Terragrunt Tutorial

[@prashantsukhadeve9642]

Thank you so much bhava. Tumche video nehami khup Chan astat. Only due to you my most of doubt clear on Terraform. I am really appreciate to you .Love from Nagpur Maharashtra

[@RahulWagh]

You are most welcome. Keep learning

[@learning0701]

HI We can create custom module in terraform and re use the the terraform modules by passing the variables file. Could you explain why do we need terragrant instead of terraform module

[@umamaheshmeka1032]

If you need to create the same infrastructure for multiple environments, Terragrunt is the preferable choice. Although Terraform offers options like workspaces and GitHub branches, Terragrunt is better suited for this use case !!!

[@manueljosemarinmaita]

Good question. I dont see any differences or benefit of using terragrunt instead of terraform.

[@sbrtechworld2570]

I don't really worth using terragrunt ..the same way we can pass variables in terraform as well

[@shawsehan4854]

Is the terraform tfvars sufficient for passing different variables for different environments. I just need to pass appropriate file like dev.tfvars when executing terraform plan and terraform apply commands. How does terragrunt make that easier?

[@sunkaramuralikrishna]

Very good explanation Rahul, looking for more videos on Terragrunt.

[@mdmoniruzzaman703]

Thanks again Rahul. I have a project which has few lambda function, api gateway, sqs, eks cluster etc. Should i go with Terragrunt for deploying in multiple environments OR i should use Workspace OR use environment-specific directories?

[@RahulWagh]

I would either go with terragrunt or environment specific directory

[@datainference9239]

How it is different from using Overwriting the parameters while building Release pipeline

[@BharathRM-ll5zw]

very good explanation from scratch

[@RahulWagh]

Glad to hear that

[@anantababa]

excellent , do you have any video to create RDS cluster using terragrunt?

[@RahulWagh]

Hi prakash thanks for liking, right now i do not have any video on RDS cluster but I will add it to my list of todo

[@purvakmistry2128]

excellent explanation Rahul! Very helpful!

[@RahulWagh]

Glad you liked it

[@vipinmon]

Just to understand, is terragrunt doing the same job of Terraform’s input variable feature?

[@chasim1982]

similar stuff can be done, with terraform, create two separate directories & simply call local or remote terraform module.

[@RishitSheth-f1b]

Hi Rahul, your videos on different technologies and concepts are always very helpful. However, specifically in case terragrunt I don't really understand the usage of terragrunt over terraform. As far as I know in terraform we can always make all resource properties' values dynamic by using variables. I would really like to know if I'm missing any key concept which justifies terragrunt over terraform

[@RahulWagh]

In nutshell I prefer terraform instead of terragrunt. But terragrunt has its own benefits for managing multiple environments with centralized vars configuration

[@RishitSheth-f1b]

@@RahulWagh Thanks for the clarity Rahul! Your videos are spot on, and to the point and have helped me a lot in my projects. Keep it up!

[@anandvamsi4876]

Thanks Rahul for details :- But we can terraform tvars for spinning resources for multiple envs , without changing the code how terragunt method is different from terraform tfvars

[@ramyogeshwaran]

very clear explanation Rahul.

[@RahulWagh]

Thanks i hope you know terragrunt much better now

[@prasadvaram]

very helpful , thanks much Rahul. The example you showed, cannot that be achieved by just using modules.. the same module can be referenced in dev, test and just pass different values , why should we use terragrunt when modules is getting the job done..

[@RahulWagh]

Yeah it it possible with modules also but terragrunt is more flexible with regards to have an multiple environment like dev staging Production

[@manivardha4316]

Can terragrunt used at organisation level?

[@digitaldisruptlabs]

You have a great ease for explanation, keep going and thanks!

[@RahulWagh]

Glad it helped!

[@sawomirbudzynski6566]

Very good explanation

[@charlieoriordan7667]

Thanks for this. One correction --> in the web guide, your script example for locals and inputs configuration references the wrong path. It should point to the terragrunt.hcl file not common-environment.yaml.

[@RahulWagh]

Thanks for the info! Sure i will update my terragrunr guide

[@sripujitha9199]

Hi Rahul your content and way of explanations was excellent 👌👌👌👌

[@Venkateshwarlu-v2p]

Thanks Rahul for you valuable content, I presume this can be achieved with the similar folder structure, terraform modules and different tfvar file for each folder/env without terragrunt, would be appreciated if you can explain what all the other features this wrapper offers? Thanks again!!

[@roopeshpalankar4198]

yes I did the same same code but different tfvar files

[@prashantsukhadeve9642]

Good evening Rahul

[@RahulWagh]

Hi prashant

[@2mahender]

Terraform cloud or terragrunt, which is better?

[@RahulWagh]

Honestly it depends. If your infrastructure is on Terraform cloud then i would say go for Terraform cloud but you can use terraform cloud along with Terragrunt.

[@pp56825]

Why duplicate? Use variables and simple Shell script for instance

[@madhurids4396]

Hi Rahul,can you make video on ecs fargate for setting different env using terraform please

[@RahulWagh]

Sure i will add it to my todo list and will see when i get more time i will prepare around it

[@madhurids4396]

@@RahulWagh Thanku so much Rahul

[@sripujitha9199]

Hi Rahul can you explain terragrunt clearly plz. When I am start practicing I have some errors . Can you explain the terragrunt clearly without taking the code from the github

[@vandanan3310]

Hi Rahul, Could you upload video on terraform vault? That will help us a lot.

[@RahulWagh]

I will be preparing around the hashi corp vault soon

Sir one request..can you please make a video on creating KMS CMK key and assigning it to s3 bucket..?? I have searched everywhere, unfortunately no one have made a video on that.your the last hope. Hope u bring it soon 🙏

Hi vimala thanks for suggestions hopefully in upcoming weeks I will prepare

Hi Rahul ... Your content is excellent can you share more videos about terragrunt . Like vpc and S3 , route53

Sure there are topics in my pipeline for S3 and ec2

I am so glad to know, wish you a very good look with new job

[@fsadykov]

Terragrunt is not the solution for sure. Its making your develporment process very slow instead of helping you to organize it
