Run Terraform as a Review Loop
Explain how Terraform's Write, Plan, Apply workflow reduces infrastructure change risk.
Terraform's beginner workflow is a loop: write the desired state, plan the consequence, apply only after the consequence matches the intent. Use the HCL diff to review how the desired state is expressed. Use the plan to review what will happen to real infrastructure. Use the apply log to confirm execution, not to discover the risk for the first time. Visual modules: a three-step workflow rail, a before-to-after review note, and a marigold trap callout for applying before reading replacements.
