Martin Atkins 3c8a4e6e05 command+backend/local: -refresh-only and drift detection
This is a light revamp of our plan output to make use of Terraform core's
new ability to report both the previous run state and the refreshed state,
allowing us to explicitly report changes made outside of Terraform.

Because whether a plan has "changes" or not is no longer such a
straightforward matter, this now merges views.Operation.Plan with
views.Operation.PlanNoChanges to produce a single function that knows how
to report all of the various permutations. This was also an opportunity
to fill some holes in our previous logic which caused it to produce some
confusing messages, including a new tailored message for when
"terraform destroy" detects that nothing needs to be destroyed.

This also allows users to request the refresh-only planning mode using a
new -refresh-only command line option. In that case, Terraform _only_
performs drift detection, and so applying a refresh-only plan only
involves writing a new state snapshot, without changing any real
infrastructure objects.

Terraform

Terraform

Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.

The key features of Terraform are:

  • Infrastructure as Code: Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and treated as you would any other code. Additionally, infrastructure can be shared and re-used.

  • Execution Plans: Terraform has a "planning" step where it generates an execution plan. The execution plan shows what Terraform will do when you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when Terraform manipulates infrastructure.

  • Resource Graph: Terraform builds a graph of all your resources, and parallelizes the creation and modification of any non-dependent resources. Because of this, Terraform builds infrastructure as efficiently as possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their infrastructure.

  • Change Automation: Complex changesets can be applied to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. With the previously mentioned execution plan and resource graph, you know exactly what Terraform will change and in what order, avoiding many possible human errors.

For more information, see the introduction section of the Terraform website.

Getting Started & Documentation

Documentation is available on the Terraform website:

If you're new to Terraform and want to get started creating infrastructure, please check out our Getting Started guides on HashiCorp's learning platform. There are also additional guides to continue your learning.

Show off your Terraform knowledge by passing a certification exam. Visit the certification page for information about exams and find study materials on HashiCorp's learning platform.

Developing Terraform

This repository contains only Terraform core, which includes the command line interface and the main graph engine. Providers are implemented as plugins, and Terraform can automatically download providers that are published on the Terraform Registry. HashiCorp develops some providers, and others are developed by other organizations. For more information, see Extending Terraform.

To learn more about compiling Terraform and contributing suggested changes, please refer to the contributing guide.

To learn more about how we handle bug reports, please read the bug triage guide.
