That helped.
I am quite new to both Terraform & Nomad.
I was not saying that Nomad has facility to store Terraform state. I was simply referring
to Nomad (and Kubernetes) declarative spec, by which, I assume, they have to
maintain (or load) internal state to produce actions.
The biggest question seems to be do I have to store the terraform state when using Nomad.
I get the idea when Terraform-ing other infrastructures, they have to be taken more seriously.
I do have consul and knew of Terraform Backend;
When in pure CI (CD excluded), I to a degree don’t care about the state rigorously maintained by Terraform (righteously?).
And even in CD for services, we as a small team did not care about the explicit state.
Maybe it is time for us to build up the (mind) state now?
