Resource Organization

File Assignment

Resources are assigned to Terraform files based on:

• Default Assignment: New resources go to main.tf by default.

• Automatic Separation: Variables go to variables.tf, outputs to outputs.tf, etc.

• Manual Assignment: You can assign resources to different files. To do so:

  • Right-click the resource in the diagram.

  • Select "Move to file".

  • Choose an existing file or create a new one.
