The Workflow: Destroy (Clean Up)

Infrastructure as Code (Terraform & OpenTofu Mastery)

Discipline Note

In this course, we will adopt the discipline of destroying everything at the end of the day. This ensures our code is perfectly reproducible. If you can't rebuild it from scratch, your code is broken.
