(Part 2/N) Terraform: Import Existing Resource

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.

Takeaways

  • Terraform allows you to manage infrastructure using a common workflow

  • Importing resources into Terraform requires defining an import block and generating configuration

  • Destructive changes should be carefully managed and tested

  • Troubleshooting errors in Terraform requires understanding the configuration and resource dependencies Modifying the Terraform configuration involves replacing placeholder values and making necessary changes to the config files.

  • Commands like Docker run, Docker PS, Terraform plan, Terraform apply, and Terraform show are useful in the Terraform workflow.

  • The Snowpal platform offers APIs and SaaS products that can be used to power back-end systems and accelerate development processes.

  • Snowpal provides flexible options for using their products, including pay-per-use, monthly plans, and commercial licenses.

(Part 2/4) My interview experience from the past week

(Part 2/4) My project ends next week per schedule (one that I thoroughly enjoyed, and another one where I'll surely miss the people), so I've been interviewing the past couple of weeks. While I typically, and predominantly do Technical Videos/Podcasts, I do enjoy these reasonably off-topic videos.   In this series (yeah, no kidding - it took me over 35 minutes to share my thoughts, and I know you are not surprised!), I speak to my recent experience and where I think the interview process is still lacking.   #projectmangement #interview   Crack your interviews by planning them on https://snowpal.com.

CoffeeScript to JavaScript:Time to decaffeinate!

We love CoffeeScript. But, we used to love it a bit more in the past ;-) It's time to move on - to vanilla JavaScript, and to TypeScript. Here's how we are doing it.   #projectmanagement Manage your projects on https://snowpal.com. Keep it simple.

Mid 50s, bright and sunny. A brilliant day to share a fix for an SSL-related error I ran it on the AWS API Gateway.

Nexus vs Maven: Build & deploy microservices to Nexus Repository Manager using Maven

Nexus and Maven go hand in hand, and while Nexus is a Repository Manager that serves as a central repository for your artifacts, Maven provides a way to build applications using those artifacts. Let's take a look at a simple (practical) example, and understand the basics. #projectmanagement Manage your projects on https://snowpal.com. Keep it simple.
