Hey there, Gurus! Welcome to the lab! This lab will demonstrate how to troubleshoot a Terraform state sync issue. We will attempt to go through the different stages of deployment by trying to deploy our configuration and work through the state sync issue until we have successfully deployed our resources.
Learning Objectives
Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:
- Deploy Your Backend Resources
1) In the terminal, once logged into your instance, change to the
s3directory.
2) In thes3directory, edit theS3.tffile to either append a number or rename the bucket name in the file.
3) Run theterraform fmtcommand.
4) Now initialize your working directory.
5) If initialization is successful, then apply your code and deploy your resources.- Create Your Resources
1) Now change to the
terraformdirectory.
2) In theterraformdirectory, edit themain.tffile and add insubnet_idfrom theresource_ids.txtfile.
3) Run theterraform fmtcommand.
4) Edit thebackend.tffile and change the bucket name to the bucket name you used in theS3.tffile.
5) Now initialize your working directory.
6) If initialization is successful, then move step by step until you create your resources.- Troubleshoot Error
1) Now edit the
terraform.tfvarsfile and uncomment theregionvalue.
2) Run theterraform plan -refresh-onlycommand.
3) Fix the error and run theterraform plan -refresh-onlycommand again.
4) Lab is complete when your resources are deployed and the sync error is gone.
