Last year, I started exploring and studying terraform for work. While studying, I mostly relied on Terraform plan command to check the output plan. As terraform module I was writing got bigger, the plan got bigger too, and I needed to store the plan in a file and then read & analyse the file later. For example, I want to read the plan for the following resource & store it in a file,...

I can export TF_CLI_ARGS as shown below with the arg. export TF_CLI_ARGS="-no-color" Now, If I run terraform plan it will be equivalent of terraform plan -no-color...
A few days ago, I was working on an application which consisted of a multi-container pod where I had to send a signal from container A to a process from container B within the same Pod.
