2. Modify Resources

• Terraform works in a declearative manner

• If we re apply a terraform file, it is not going to re apply the config like some code

• Like in previous example, if we applied that file multiple times, it was not going to deploy multiple ec2 machines each time we apply it

• We can modify the config file and terraform will update the resource

• Take the previous example and add a tag and apply the config, terraform will update the ec2 instance with the tag specified
