Terraform Sensitive Outputs: Understanding the Logic of Data Disclosure

Terraform outputs are more than just debugging text—they are the interface of your infrastructure. In this lesson, we explore the boundary between internal knowledge and external visibility, specifically focusing on the sensitive attribute. In this video, we cover: The Philosophy of Outputs: Why outputs represent your system’s declared identity. The "Curtain" Metaphor: Understanding that sensitivity is about restraint in disclosure, not secrecy in creation. Sensitivity Contagion: How Terraform infers risk and follows the lineage of sensitive values. The Security Reality: A critical look at why sensitive values remain visible in state files and why sensitivity protects "screens, not storage." Key Takeaways: Sensitivity does not change resource logic or behavior; it only affects exposure. Terraform requires explicit intent when a sensitive value is passed forward into a new output. Managing the boundary of state access is the next step in securing your infrastructure. Lesson 38 Disclaimer: Terraform is a trademark of HashiCorp, Inc.
