Hi, Can you please list down some common error we face while working with Terraform and Jenkins in real time.

[@MohammedNoureldin]

But what about the state file of terraform? If I need to extend the infrastructure using Terraform, it won't work if the state file gets lost. What would you do about this?

[@CodeSagarOfficial]

Utilize remote state storage to store your Terraform state files in a centralized and secure location.
Example Terraform backend configuration for AWS S3:
terraform {
backend "s3" {
bucket = "your-unique-bucket-name"
key = "path/to/terraform.tfstate"
region = "your-region"
encrypt = true
}
}
I will create a separate video on this topic.

Hi
Can you please suggest, how we can retain previously created EC2(s) which provisioned via terraform jenking CICD and how we can make sure other Ec2 which was not provisioned via this CICD will not impact whether it’s in Any VPC like production etc I.e if we want to create EC2 as per requirement
Please demonstrate via modules

[@CodeSagarOfficial]

Thanks for comment,
1. make sure that you are managing the state of your Terraform resources effectively.
2. Ensure that all EC2 instances provisioned via your Jenkins CI/CD pipeline are tagged with a unique identifier or label

Bro for aws_access_key and aws_secret_key how are we retrieving its value from what we have stored in jenkins global credentials because in variable aws_access_key there is no default value only type and description in given so how it is getting the value. And while I'm doing the same thing you showed in this video my pipeline keeps on running in plan stage and not moving forward. Please assist.

See 4:38, Configure pipeline. Where i have set aws key and secret key.
Let me know if you are still getting error.
