“script” seems like absolutely the wrong terminology for something as die-hard-declarative as Terraform.
In my circle of engineers we tend to call it “code” but this isn’t ideal either - implies a general purpose language.
- verdverm 5y agoComprehension, like list comprehension, might be a better term
- jk563 5y agoMy circle also just use "code" as far as I'm aware, though I tend to think of it as a definition instead. Template would also fit but you can use templates within Terraform so that could be confusing.
- jen20 5y agoThe official name for .tf files is a “configuration”, per the code base.
- chenrui 5y ago`script` is bad, but `code` is fine. In this case, it is really a DSL language for cloud configurations.
