Initialization

The initialization operation initializes various local settings that will be used by subsequent commands. The command also downloads provider binaries. The command needs to be re-run if new modules are set or changed, or backend configuration changes.

terraform init

The command creates a .terraform directory, which contains a "plugins" sub-directory.

Configuration File Formatting

terraform fmt

Formats all .tf in the current directory. Formatting enables standardization.

Apply

https://www.terraform.io/docs/commands/apply.html

terraform apply

The output shows the execution plan, in a format similar to diff.

-/+ means the resource will be destroyed and recreated rather than update it in-place. ~ means update in-place.

provider.aws.region
  The region where AWS operations will take place. Examples
  are us-east-1, us-west-2, etc.

  Enter a value: us-west-2


An execution plan has been generated and is shown below.
Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
  + create

Terraform will perform the following actions:
