The terraform apply
command is used to apply the changes required to reach the desired state of the configuration, or the pre-determined set of actions generated by a terraform plan
execution plan.
Usage: terraform apply [options] [dir-or-plan]
By default, apply
scans the current directory for the configuration and applies the changes appropriately. However, a path to another configuration or an execution plan can be provided. Explicit execution plans files can be used to split plan and apply into separate steps within automation systems.
The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are:
-backup=path
- Path to the backup file. Defaults to -state-out
with the ".backup" extension. Disabled by setting to "-".
-lock=true
- Lock the state file when locking is supported.
-lock-timeout=0s
- Duration to retry a state lock.
-input=true
- Ask for input for variables if not directly set.
-auto-approve
- Skip interactive approval of plan before applying.
-no-color
- Disables output with coloring.
-parallelism=n
- Limit the number of concurrent operation as Terraform walks the graph.
-refresh=true
- Update the state for each resource prior to planning and applying. This has no effect if a plan file is given directly to apply.
-state=path
- Path to the state file. Defaults to "terraform.tfstate". Ignored when remote state is used.
-state-out=path
- Path to write updated state file. By default, the -state
path will be used. Ignored when remote state is used.
-target=resource
- A Resource Address to target. For more information, see the targeting docs from terraform plan
.
-var 'foo=bar'
- Set a variable in the Terraform configuration. This flag can be set multiple times. Variable values are interpreted as HCL, so list and map values can be specified via this flag.
-var-file=foo
- Set variables in the Terraform configuration from a variable file. If a terraform.tfvars
or any .auto.tfvars
files are present in the current directory, they will be automatically loaded. terraform.tfvars
is loaded first and the .auto.tfvars
files after in alphabetical order. Any files specified by -var-file
override any values set automatically from files in the working directory. This flag can be used multiple times.
