count¶

A common issue with count is that once you delete any resource other than the last one, Terraform will try to force replace all resources that the index doesn't match.

Usually only used for enable/disable a resource

variable "add_storage_account" {
  description = "boolean to determine whether to create a storage account or not"
  type        = bool
}

resource "azurerm_storage_account" "main" {
  count = var.add_storage_account ? 1 : 0

  resource_group_name      = "rg-st"
  location                 = "eastus"
  account_tier             = "Standard"
  account_replication_type = "LRS"

  name = "stspacelift${count.index}${local.rand_suffix}"
}
