Example using tfvars -> main -> modules about terraform-up-and-running-code HOT 5 CLOSED

Check out https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt. It does exactly what I describe in the book :)

So, did I understood correctly, example from the book not works without a terragrunt?

The book outlines the basic approach to using pipelines. That approach is not natively supported by Terraform itself yet, so you have to implement it yourself. There are many ways to do it. One way is to use Terragrunt. Another is to use S3 as described by Kief Morrison.

No - I don't believe there was specific code in the book to cover this - and honestly, I'm using all of the advanced topics covered - DRY, modular, remote state, sub-dirs, live layouts, larger teams, etc. For this issue - i think Yevgeniy is spot on, and the way that I'm doing pipelines is using Terragrunt - which is an excellent wrapper for doing these advanced functions, but is slightly outside the scope of the book.
Besides, I am quite certain, if you run into issues in this area, and add to this thread, someone (maybe even the author himself) would jump in and help (he did several times for me!).

I believe the question here was answered. Closing this ~3 year old issue.
