Terraform Best Practices
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is powerful, but messy code can lead to disasters. Here are some best practices for Terraform.
1. Use Remote State
Never store your terraform.tfstate file locally or committed to git. Use S3 + DynamoDB for locking.
2. Modularize
Don't put everything in one main.tf. Break it down into modules (Networking, Compute, Database).
