Or, you know, put an UUID in the configuration and tag everything with it so that it knows what it created by just querying the tag (or similarly, using a namespace if supported, or putting the information in the resource name itself if possible).
- vlunkr 4y agoThese arguments are just going in circles but here's why: You can't store metadata on every object in every provider, and often, resource names are restrictive in length and allowed characters. And what if something needs deleted? Now every time you run terraform you need to list every type of object the provider offers and check tags, that's a huge waste of time and bandwidth.
