Deploying Infra in multiple environments

[javierruizjimenez]

Hi @ShitulGupta

I suggest that you create a Terraform project for each region, and maybe one for each environment and region.

Limiting the scope of the Terraform configuration to one region and (maybe) to each environment you can reduce the risk of errors, it will be faster and will work even if a region is offline.

But of course you will want to have the same infrastructure in each environment and each region without having to maintain multiple copies of the same Terraform resources. That should probably be done using/reusing modules (in a central repository).

Please read this answer by @apparentlymart with a full explanation:

My 25-resource Terraform Project is Taking 3 Minutes to Plan

Hi @lancejpollard, I wasn’t able to review your configuration in sufficient detail to explain what exactly is going on here; perhaps you can see in the output some specific things that are taking a particularly long time, in which case I could try to explain why that might be. With that said, it’s not typical to manage an entire multi-region infrastructure deployment in a single Terraform configuration. Usually a larger deployment would be split into smaller units – one per region is a common …
