Terraform - FotD - timestamp()

Read Original

This article is a technical guide on the built-in timestamp() function in Terraform. It explains the function's purpose, provides a code example, and discusses practical use cases like logging and file naming. It also highlights a key lesson: because the timestamp changes on each run, it can cause Terraform to detect resource changes, so using the ignore_changes lifecycle property may be necessary.
