By default, when Terraform creates a plan it: * Reads the current state of any already-existing remote objects to make sure that the Terraform state is up-to-date. * Compares the current configuration to the prior state and noting any differences. * Proposes a set of change actions that should, if applied, make the remote objects match the configuration. ``` terraform plan ``` #### apply configuration with variables ``` terraform apply -var-file terraform-dev.tfvars ``` #### destroy a single resource ``` terraform destroy -target aws_vpc.myapp-vpc ``` #### destroy everything fromtf files ``` terraform destroy ``` #### show resources and components from current state ``` terraform state list ``` #### show current state of a specific resource/data ``` terraform state show aws_vpc.myapp-vpc ``` #### set avail\_zone as custom tf environment variable - before apply ``` export TF_VAR_avail_zone="eu-west-3a" ```
