"environment" is a very overloaded term, so here we prefer to use the
term "working directory" to talk about a local directory where operations
are executed on a given Terraform configuration.
This will be fleshed out later as part of more holistic documentation for
the new provider plugin separation, but this is some minimal documentation
for just this subcommand.
This augments backend-config to also accept key=value pairs.
This should make Terraform easier to script rather than having to
generate a JSON file.
You must still specify the backend type as a minimal amount in
configurations, example:
```
terraform { backend "consul" {} }
```
This is required because Terraform needs to be able to detect the
_absense_ of that value for unsetting, if that is necessary at some
point.
For AWS Route53 zones the ID is not the domain name, it is the Zone ID.
When I took your "If you're unsure, feel free to just try an ID." advice to heart I figured it out pretty quickly, but still, getting it right the first time would be nice.
Minor grammar and style edits.
Also updated Consul example to not use `demo.consul.io` - seems like a bad idea to hard-code something folks might cut-n-paste to a host that's public. Principle of least risk, etc.
This commit adds the `state rm` command for removing an address from
state. It is the result of a rebase from pull-request #5953 which was
lost at some point during the Terraform 0.7 feature branch merges.
This commit removes the ability to index into complex output types using
`terraform output a_list 1` (for example), and adds a `-json` flag to
the `terraform output` command, such that the output can be piped
through a post-processor such as jq or json. This removes the need to
allow arbitrary traversal of nested structures.
It also adds tests of human readable ("normal") output with nested lists
and maps, and of the new JSON output.
