How can I make a Terraform setup reproducible?

Question

The same project needs to behave consistently on developer machines, in CI and after deployment. Which versions, dependencies and configuration should be recorded?

Tasadduq Burney · Accepted Answer

Pin Terraform and provider versions, commit the dependency lockfile and keep environment inputs explicit. Run initialization and validation before planning. Use a shared remote backend for team changes and avoid treating a developer’s local state file as the production source of truth.
