Cleanup
Objective
Understand how to remove all resources from a Terraform project.
Overview
This project did not create any real resources outside of our project folder so
we could just delete it. This is a good opportunity to learn a new Terraform
command: terraform destroy. In the future we will use this command to tear
down all resources created in our project.
Lab
Destroy
Running the destroy command generates and empty plan and applies it, effectively removing all created resources.
Execute
terraform destroy
Apply
Now we can reapply our project and observe that new pet names are created.
Execute
terraform apply
Destroy Again
Since we didn’t create any real resources we could stop here but running destroy again is good practice.
Execute
terraform destroy
Review
In this section we destroyed all of our resources and recreated them to see the random provider in action.
