Write-only Arguments in Terraform

Read Original

This technical article details the introduction of write-only arguments in Terraform 1.11, which complement ephemeral resources from version 1.10. It explains how these arguments prevent sensitive values (like passwords or secret keys) from being stored in Terraform state or plan files, using examples from the Azure provider. The post covers use cases, implementation, and how Terraform manages changes to these non-persisted values.
