Hey there, Gurus! Welcome to the lab! This lab will demonstrate how to troubleshoot Terraform output errors. We will go through the different stages of deployment to try and deploy our configuration, and work through the output errors until we have successfully deployed our resources.
Learning Objectives
Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:
- Validate Your Code
- In the terminal, once logged in to your instance, change to the
terraformdirectory. - In the
terraformdirectory, edit themain.tffile and add in yourami,subnet_id, andvpcfrom theresource_ids.txtfile. - Run the
terraform fmtcommand. - Initialize your working directory.
- If initialization is successful, then validate your code.
- In the terminal, once logged in to your instance, change to the
- Fix the Output Errors
- After running the
terraform validatecommand, you should get an error. Read the error and go to each line in theoutputs.tffile where the error is. - Fix each output error that you get.
- Check the formatting, then validate your code again. If the error is fixed, move on to the next step in your deployment.
- After running the
- Deploy Your Resources
- Once you have worked past the error, successfully validated your code, and ran the
plancommand, then deploy your resources. - The lab is complete when you have successfully deployed your infrastructure.
- Once you have worked past the error, successfully validated your code, and ran the
