Lab: Terraform Graph

Duration: 5 minutes

Terraform knows a lot about your configuration. We've already seen how to use terraform show to output information about your resources. Terraform can also present this data in DOT format, which is used by GraphVis and similar programs to generate graphs.

• Task 1: Generate a graph against your current Terraform configuration

Task 1

Step 7.1.1

Run terraform graph in your terraform directory and note the output.

terraform graph

digraph {
	compound = "true"
	newrank = "true"
	subgraph "root" {
# ...
  }
}

Step 7.1.2

Paste that output into webgraphviz to get a visual representation of dependencies that Terraform creates for your configuration.
