How to use Makefile

Note

• Makefile is using plan file for applying new infrastructure so always run make plan ENV=<YOUR-ENV> at first and then make apply. (this is a best practice for terraform to always run at first terraform plan and then apply.)

• run make help for get available commands

Create terraform workspaces (envs)

terraform workspace new dev

terraform workspace new prod

Create ssh key

$ ssh-keygen
