Diagnose and Correct Drift Using Terraform State and Import
In this lab, you'll practice diagnosing and correcting drift using Terraform state and import operations. When you're finished, you will have successfully viewed and interpreted Terraform state, detected and reconciled configuration drift, imported unmanaged resources into Terraform state, and modified state entries to correct configuration inconsistencies.
