Outputs are a way to tell Terraform what data is important. This data is outputted when apply is called, and can be queried using the terraform output command.
Besides, what is the output variable?
A variable is an input variable if its Input property is Yes. Its value can be input from an external source, such as an Architect call flow. A variable whose Output property is Yes is an output variable. When the script runs, any value assigned to the variable is saved for use outside of the script.
Also, how do you use output variables in terraform?
Start by creating an output variables file called output.tf and open it for edit. Add the following three variable definitions in the file to output the server's IP addresses and hostname after deployment. Replace the server_name with the name of your Terraform host.
The terraform refresh command is used to reconcile the state Terraform knows about (via its state file) with the real-world infrastructure. This can be used to detect any drift from the last-known state, and to update the state file. This does not modify infrastructure, but does modify the state file.
