Terraform Proverbs

Null is not nothing.
Count on it only when you must.
Terraform state is a necessary evil.
You’re only as highly available as your state is.
Locals interpolate; variables dictate.
Variables dictate the what, not the how.
For each resource, a different one.
Clear is better than clever.
Terraform can’t keep a secret.
Don’t depend on it, depend on it.
Terraform’s purpose isn’t to enforce policy; it’s to create policies that enforce.
Custom conditions catch misconfigurations within policy.
