Using Terraform YAML Functions: Yamldecode & Yamlencode

In this article, we discuss the use of YAML with Terraform and two functions used for manipulating YAML: yamlencode and yamldecode. We cover how YAML can be used in conjunction with Terraform, as well as provide examples of using these functions in practice. The article also explains how yamldecode maps Terraform types to YAML and the basic YAML types supported by this function. Additionally, we explore practical examples for retrieving values from YAML files using the yamldecode function in Terraform. Finally, we discuss the opposite of yamldecode, the yamlencode function, which takes a Terraform value and returns a string representing the YAML-encoded version of that value.
