Terraform Plan

Reviewing your Terraform code

The terraform plan command creates an execution plan, which lets you preview the changes that Terraform plans to make to your infrastructure. By default, when Terraform creates a plan it:

• Reads the current state of any already-existing remote objects to make sure that the Terraform state is up-to-date.

• Compares the current configuration to the prior state and noting any differences.

• Proposes a set of change actions that should, if applied, make the remote objects match the configuration.

Note: this command does not deploy anything. Consider this is the read-only command

• Allows user to review the action plan before executing anything

• At this stage, authentication credentials are used to connect to your infrastructure, if required
