In this episode of the Terraform series, we continued from where we left off in the previous podcast. We created a Docker container, cloned the example repository, and initialized Terraform. We generated configuration using Terraform plan and imported a resource while modifying the configuration. We pruned the generated configuration and applied changes, handling destructive changes. We also troubleshooted and fixed errors along the way. Overall, we made progress in understanding Terraform and managing Docker containers using Terraform. In this second podcast of the Terraform series, Krish continues exploring the Terraform documentation and learning as he goes. He demonstrates how to modify the Terraform configuration by replacing placeholder values and making necessary changes to the config files. Krish also shares the commands he used, including Docker run, Docker PS, Terraform plan, Terraform apply, and Terraform show. He concludes the podcast by summarizing the progress made and inviting viewers to check out the next episode.
