DevOps Tip - How to use terraform apply without prompt and input yes for CI/CD?

Problem

Took a memo about integration of CI/CD applied by terraform without prompt to input 'yes'
It is annoying to input yes every time if you already make sure already by `terraform plan`.
On the other hand, I need to integrate with different system for CI/CD. I need a way to approve it automatically.
By tests with commands official documents, I found the correct command and arguments.

Tested Solutions

    terraform apply -input=false -auto-approve

or as my test, you can shorten to the following command

    terraform apply -auto-approve

Test Environments

• Ubuntu 16.04.04 LTS

DevOps Tip - How to use shared terraform plugins by -plugin-dir argument?

Problem

If you executed `terraform init`, you may already have the .terraform in your folder.

Because you may have many terraform repo similar to another, you can use the -plugin-dir to reduce the usage of disk space.

As a shared plugins so that we don’t need many copies of plugins into different locations.

Example

• Here I used my OSX Macbook as a Demo Environment.

  ====================
  cd /build/setupdev/

    sudo mkdir -p  /opt/terraform/terraform.d

mv .terraform/plugins to /opt/terraform/terraform.d/plugins

• Please run the following command to apply it.

  ====================

terraform init -input=false \
-plugin-dir=/opt/terraform/terraform.d/plugins/darwin_amd64
