Terraform β€” Modules and state-aware lifecycle

Design stable instances, module interfaces, reads, replacements, imports, and backend coordination.

6 lessons Β· No account required

What you will learn

  • Choose known stable keys and narrow module/publication contracts.
  • Review lifecycle, adoption, refactoring, state selection, and locking.

  1. Collections and stable instance addresses

    Choose repetition keys from durable identity and explain why count indices and for_each keys produce different address behavior.

    Start learning

  2. Module contracts and provider scope

    Build small reusable interfaces and distinguish a child module boundary from a separate state or authorization boundary.

  3. Data sources and unknown values

    Distinguish reading external information from managing ownership and keep unknown future values separate from null or invalid inputs.

  4. Lifecycle and replacement controls

    Understand what lifecycle settings can constrain and why they do not provide availability, data recovery, or unconditional deletion protection.

    Start learning

  5. Import, moved blocks, and ownership continuity

    Distinguish adopting an existing identity from renaming an already managed address, and review both through state-aware change control.

    Start learning

  6. Backends, state selection, and locking

    Treat state storage, execution location, workspace identity, and writer coordination as explicit operational boundaries.
