Can we have some final decision on Stanza versus Block? I have witnessed a few more mentions of "Stanza" with respect to Terraform than I generally have seen. It usually seemed limited to folks that first used Consul or Vault.
Personally I use the two interchangeably, traditionally all HCL blocks such as resources were referred to as "Stanza", this was not limited to Terraform but covered all tools that used HCL. I have just checked, it seems that we do not use the term stanza from the current documentation. I am guessing this is to simplify the language and use a term more commonly used with code. It was Terraform that first introduced me to the term Stanza when I started using it almost 10 years ago, the phrase has just stuck. Sorry for any confusion, I will try to stick to the word "Block" for future videos.
why didn't you just do aws configure in the terminal and then proceed from there, is there a specific reason why you didnt do this or is it just another method?
Hey @WeaterLockz-dv6sd , thank you for asking, this is indeed another method to safely inject credentials into your shell with. Note that there’s also a pattern available for retrieving and injecting temporary credentials.
