What are the limitations of Terraform workspaces?

What are the limitations of Terraform workspaces?

Terraform workspaces allow you to manage multiple environments, but they have some limitations. For instance, they can lead to confusion if not managed properly, and state files can become complex.

Can you explain how state files work in workspaces?

Sure! Each workspace has its own state file, which tracks the resources managed by Terraform. This means changes in one workspace won't affect others, but it can complicate management.

Are there any best practices for using workspaces?

Yes, it's recommended to use workspaces for different environments like dev, staging, and production. Also, keep naming conventions consistent and avoid using workspaces for different projects.

What happens if I exceed the number of workspaces?

If you exceed the number of workspaces, you may encounter performance issues or limitations based on your Terraform version. It's best to manage workspaces efficiently.
