#terraform-tool

Hello, I'm getting this error message "The VCD entity network "nat" does not exist." when trying to start a VM with terraform on vcloud director, does anyone know why?

i'm running Terraform in CI in ephemeral docker containers. this means I need to `terraform init` every single run / every single step right?

why doesn't terraform init let me specify the dir where all my TF files are, similar to apply and plan?

devth: you only `terraform init` to create a new tf config

if you alreay have .tf/.tf.json files you don't need to run `init`

trying to init a remote backend

i tried a few things like specifying -backend-config and cd'ing into the dir but i think it's getting confused as the next `terraform plan ...` invocation says i need to init

"Failed to load backend: Initialization required. Please see the error message above. "

so

I used to do this user_data = "${replace(data.template_file.user_data.rendered,"#ROLE", "hipaa-api-blue")}"

now it seems i am not able to do this since i upgraded

how do i get a common template with variables i can inject per asg ?

autoscale group

or do i just put a template resource in each asg ?
