Workspace Setup

Create a new workspace for your environment:

terraform workspace new <environment>

Switch between existing workspaces:

terraform workspace select <environment>

Deploy Infrastructure

Initialize Terraform:

terraform init

To upgrade provider versions:

Review the execution plan:

terraform plan -var-file="variables/$(terraform workspace show).tfvars"

Apply the configuration:

terraform apply -var-file="variables/$(terraform workspace show).tfvars"

Destroy Infrastructure

terraform destroy -var-file="variables/$(terraform workspace show).tfvars"
