Part-1 : Getting started with Terraform - • Terraform Explained | ...
Terragrunt by gruntwork was built to improve the shortcomings around the Terraform for effectively managing the infrastructure code so that developers can use the same code without any kind of duplication by keeping the terraform code dry. Terragrunt not only helps you with managing your terraform workspaces effectively but it can also help you with multiple terraform modules, managing Terraform remote state, etc.
This guide will you get started with Terragrunt and also you will find example codes for your reference. It will be a very beginner's level guide for those who want to learn Terragrunt and in this guide, we will be taking one basic example of Setting up EC2 instance using Terragrunt for DEV and TEST
▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐️ 🕘Timestamps ⭐️ ▬▬▬▬▬▬
In today's terragrunt session we will be looking at -
06:24 - How to install Terragrunt?
11:38 - Write your first Terragrunt implementation using the ec2-instance module.
22:45 How to run - Terragrunt plan, Terragrunt apply, and Terragrunt destroy
24:38 Verify the EC2 instance on AWS manually via AWS console as well as using - Terragrunt output
29:02 - Find in parent common vars.yaml
30:41 -Remove the AWS resources using - Terragrunt destroy

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

[@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.

[@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

[@sripujitha9199]

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

[@digitaldisruptlabs]

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

[@RahulWagh]

Glad it helped!

[@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

[@datainference9239]

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

[@user-jd9iy4rc3o]

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

[@purvakmistry2128]

excellent explanation Rahul! Very helpful!

[@RahulWagh]

Glad you liked it

[@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

[@sawomirbudzynski6566]

Very good explanation

[@ramyogeshwaran]

very clear explanation Rahul.

[@RahulWagh]

Thanks i hope you know terragrunt much better now

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@manivardha4316]

Can terragrunt used at organisation level?

[@BharathRM-ll5zw]

very good explanation from scratch

[@RahulWagh]

Glad to hear that

[@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

[@poaklabagyalakshmi8744]

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

[@RahulWagh]

Sure there are topics in my pipeline for S3 and ec2

[@mdmoniruzzaman703]

great, great !

[@RahulWagh]

You are welcome

[@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

[@ramankhanna9526]

well explained

[@RahulWagh]

Cheers

[@judeaugustinejob5509]

Unable to determine underlying exit code, so Terragrunt will exit with error code 1

[@janardhanm6402]

Hi Rahul, I hop your are Good Nice To see you with video, your videos lot of help me for crack job. I was fallow you for K8s and terraform and others also, Thanks for making videos.

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

[@vimaladeshmukh4017]

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 🙏

[@RahulWagh]

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

[@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.

[@sbrtechworld2570]

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

[@pp56825]

Why duplicate? Use variables and simple Shell script for instance

[@rossmccarthy2602]

[@RahulWagh]

You welcome

[@fsadykov]

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