To create resource without further updating it, use "ignore_changes" lifecycle property.

There are two cases we used this as a workaround. First, the lambdas are created with Terraform, but the code and configuration updates are in separate process. To prevent Terraform from overwriting code, the source_code_hash property can be ignored.

The AWS resource is not applied in real-time. For some, the provider can wait for resource created, or poll the resource until it is created. But even provider and the service agreed, another resource may still hold an older view.

And once you get the idea of template matching, ( Read more... )

I have read some reviews about the difference with E5, and the amplifier compared to Fiio E10K. I am glad the review on Slickdeals was accurate, that the amplifier is good ( Read more... )
