terraform apply
terraform apply plan.tfplan       # apply saved plan
terraform apply -auto-approve     # no confirmation

# Destroy
terraform destroy
terraform destroy -target=aws_instance.web   # specific resource

State

terraform state list

# Resource details

# Move resource (refactoring)
terraform state mv <old> <new>

# Remove from state (without destroying)
terraform state rm <resource>

# Pull/Push remote state
terraform state pull > state.json
terraform state push state.json

Output & Variables

terraform fmt -recursive

Workspaces

Tips

• Always run terraform plan before apply
• Use -target to apply specific resources
• Use terraform fmt to keep code standardized
• State is sensitive — never commit to public repos
• Use remote backend (S3, GCS) for team work
