Terraform .tfvars files: Variables Management with Examples

What's this blog post about?

Managing variables effectively is crucial in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) projects. Terraform provides various methods for declaring and assigning variables using .tfvars files, which are the most common way to manage variables due to their simplicity and effectiveness. These files allow users to manage variable assignments systematically by providing a centralized location for variable declaration and value assignment. By using tfvars files, users can easily deploy IaC projects across multiple environments with different variable values. Additionally, tools like Terragrunt can help keep Terraform configuration DRY and reduce redundancies in variable usage.
