Dhaka HashiCorp UG Meetup

​Join the Dhaka HashiCorp User Group Meetup for a practical session on Terraform State Management & Collaboration.

​Terraform state is essential for tracking infrastructure, but managing it becomes more challenging when multiple people work on the same environment. This session will explore how teams can store, protect, share, and maintain Terraform state while reducing conflicts and avoiding unintended infrastructure changes.

​Through practical explanations and demonstrations, we will cover:

• ​How Terraform state works and why it matters

• ​Local state versus remote state

• ​Configuring a remote backend

• ​State locking and preventing concurrent changes

• ​Managing sensitive information in state files

• ​Organizing state across teams and environments

• ​Detecting and handling infrastructure drift

• ​Importing, moving, and recovering resources safely

• ​Collaboration practices for Terraform workflows

• ​Common state-management mistakes and how to avoid them

​This meetup is suitable for developers, DevOps and cloud engineers, platform engineers, students, and anyone working with Infrastructure as Code. Basic familiarity with Terraform will be helpful, but participants at all experience levels are welcome.

​Bring your laptop, technical questions, and Terraform experiences as we learn, troubleshoot, and connect with Dhaka’s infrastructure community.
