Apply configurations

After you finish configuring the providers and describing the infrastructure objects in your Terraform configuration, follow these steps to apply the configuration in your Terraform project:

  1. Initialize and install the providers defined in the Terraform configuration:

    terraform init
  2. Verify that your Terraform project has been properly configured:

    terraform plan

    If there are any errors, edit the Terraform configuration and re-run the preceding command.

  3. Apply the Terraform configuration:

    terraform apply

When the system returns a "Apply complete!" message, the Terraform configuration has been successfully applied.

NOTE

After you change the provider versions in the Terraform configuration, you must run terraform init -upgrade to initialize the providers and then run terraform apply again to apply the Terraform configuration.
