Video of Resource Meta Arguments Terraform Tutorial #11 in Terraform course by Will Brock channel, video No. 12 free certified online
Meta arguments can be specified on any resources and used for things like creating multiple resources with loops, stating dependencies, using a non default provider, ensuring resources are created before they are destroyed.
In this video I'll go over creating resources with different types of meta arguments in Terraform.
- Describe each meta arguments such as count, for_each, depends_on, provider, lifecycle, provisioner
- Create multiple like resources using count and for_each
- Using create_before_destroy with lifecycle arguments
- Specifying a provider that is used outside of the default provider in the configuration
- Explicitly specify resource dependencies with depends_on
- Splat Expressions can be used when resources are created with count and for_each
