Add information under Variable Files to explain how terraform.tfvars file is used. currently that documenation only exists in the getting started guide. The added information was taken directly from the getting started guide.
This page did not show how to actually use a list as a list. The
variables page states that "The usage of maps, list, strings, etc. is
documented fully in the interpolation syntax page", but that wasn't the
case.
I've split them out to list them explicitly and provide examples of
each.
Closes#9037
* `map(key, value, ...)` - Returns a map consisting of the key/value pairs
specified as arguments. Every odd argument must be a string key, and every
even argument must have the same type as the other values specified.
Duplicate keys are not allowed. Examples:
* `map("hello", "world")`
* `map("us-east", list("a", "b", "c"), "us-west", list("b", "c", "d"))`
Allow lists and maps within the list interpolation function via variable
interpolation. Since this requires setting the variadic type to TypeAny,
we check for non-heterogeneous lists in the callback.
The list() interpolation function provides a way to add support for list
literals (of strings) to HIL without having to invent new syntax for it
and modify the HIL parser.
It presents as a function, thus:
- list() -> []
- list("a") -> ["a"]
- list("a", "b") -> ["a", "b"]
Thanks to @wr0ngway for the idea of this approach, fixes#7460.
...as this will hopefully clue people in that this function will indeed
work to manipulate ipv6 networks.
Not that I completely spaced on that for quite some time, or anything
like that.
Nope, not me. Not at all.
* core: Add support for marking outputs as sensitive
This commit allows an output to be marked "sensitive", in which case the
value is redacted in the post-refresh and post-apply list of outputs.
For example, the configuration:
```
variable "input" {
default = "Hello world"
}
output "notsensitive" {
value = "${var.input}"
}
output "sensitive" {
sensitive = true
value = "${var.input}"
}
```
Would result in the output:
```
terraform apply
Apply complete! Resources: 0 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
Outputs:
notsensitive = Hello world
sensitive = <sensitive>
```
The `terraform output` command continues to display the value as before.
Limitations: Note that sensitivity is not tracked internally, so if the
output is interpolated in another module into a resource, the value will
be displayed. The value is still present in the state.
