Loops with Terraform
6 mins
Introduction #
Loops are a powerful tool in any programming language, and Terraform is no exception. They allow you to repeat a set of instructions multiple times, potentially with different values each time. This can be very useful for creating multiple similar resources in Terraform, such as a set of identical EC2 instances or S3 buckets.
To use loops in Terraform, you can use the count argument, which allows you to specify the number of times a resource should be created. You can also use the for_each argument to iterate over a list or map of values.
