Is it possible to export shell environment variables using terraform

Question

My use case is that, for example, my main.tf is creating 4 resources

resource "a" {}
resource "b" {}
resource "c" {}
resource "d" {}

So the resource "d" needs a shell environment to be present. So is there a way that I can export a shell environment variable ( export username = test ) in resource "c"?

Answer 1

with terraform you can use module

local-exec

and then dive in to your bash skills from there. Including catching terminal env's
