I wish to find out how to comment out a code on VS code in Terraform. I am new to the world of coding, and Amazon web services. I am still learning to use terraform.

  1. The most common way to comment out code in Terraform is to add a hash at the start of the lines:

    variable "var_1" {
      type    = string
      default = "value-1"
    }
    
    # variable "var_2" {
    #   type    = string
    #   default = "value-2"
    # }
    

    In the above example, Terraform will create the variable called var_1, but will not create the variable called var_2 because that variable has been commented out.

    You can check out the Terraform Configuration Syntax.

  2. Attaching the Terraform documentation for commenting

    The Terraform language supports three different syntaxes for comments:

    # begins a single-line comment, ending at the end of the line.

    // also begins a single-line comment, as an alternative to #.

    /* and */ are start and end delimiters for a comment that might span over multiple lines.

    The # single-line comment style is the default comment style and should be used in most cases. Automatic configuration formatting tools may automatically transform // comments into # comments, since the double-slash style is not idiomatic.
