🔗 📂 Import tfvars

A tfvars file (Terraform variables file) is a file used to define variables for a Terraform configuration. These variables are used to parameterize the Terraform configuration, allowing you to reuse the same configuration for different environments or use cases. The tfvars file is a plain text file that typically uses the .tfvars file extension, and it contains key-value pairs that define the variable name and its corresponding value. For example, if you have a variable called region that you want to set to us-west-2, you would create a tfvars file that contains the following: region = "us-west-2" You can also define variables in the Terraform configuration file itself, but using a separate tfvars file allows you to keep the configuration file more organized and to easily change variables without modifying the configuration file. You can use a tfvars file by passing it as an argument when you run Terraform commands. For example, to run terraform apply and use the variables defined in a myvars.tfvars file, you would run the following command: terraform apply -var-file="myvars.tfvars" It's important to note that Terraform also allows you to use environment variables, CLI flags and other means to pass variables and the use of tfvars file is just one of the many ways to pass variables to Terraform.
