As we move on to 2 5 0 and 2 6 0, we will see the CRUD functions in action. One interesting thing to note is, though, that the CRUDs are NOT explicitly called anywhere in our project code (no function calls in main.tf). This is because these CRUDs are defined for the Terraform SDK. They are invoked automatically by Terraform based on the configurations specified in our terraform configuration files (main.tf).

  • SDK...? 🤨 : Terraform SDK (Software Development Kit) is the set of libraries and tools provided by HashiCorp for developing custom Terraform providers.

  • This SDK provides a plugin framework which allows us to build custom plugins (providers and provisioners) which is loaded by Terraform. Using the SDK, we can create custom resource types and execute custom actions during Terraform's lifecycle.

    • custom resource type: terrahouse

    • custom actions: the CRUD functions
