How to Generate Images with Terraform Graph Command

What's this blog post about?

The Terraform graph command generates a visual representation of the dependency relationships between resources in your Terraform configuration or execution plan. This helps you understand the structure and dependencies within your infrastructure, identify potential issues, plan changes, and debug. Graphs are generated in DOT output format, which can be processed by GraphViz software to create visual diagrams. The graph command does not create or apply any infrastructure changes; it's purely for visualization. For large or complex graphs, breaking them down into smaller sections or using interactive visualizations can improve readability. Other visualization tools to consider include Blast Radius, Inframap, Rover, Terraform Visual, WebGraphviz, and GraphvizOnline.
