Terraform Tutorials: Variables – Data Type – Boolean

December 21, 2019 comments off

The last of the available variable types is boolean. They give the option to employ simple true or false values. For example, you might wish to have a variable that decides when to generate the root user password on a new deployment.

variable “set_password” {
default = false
}
The above example boolean can be used similarly to a string variable by simply marking down the correct variable.

create_password = “${var.set_password}”

By default, the value is set to false in this example. However, you can overwrite the variable at deployment by assigning a different value in a command line variable.

terraform apply -var set_password=”true”
