Terraform Environment Layouts Explained | Dev vs Staging vs Prod

Many Terraform beginners focus on directory structures, workspaces, or Git branches before understanding the most important concept: state boundaries.

In this lesson, we examine how dev, staging, and production environments are commonly organized using separate root modules and separate Terraform state files.

Topics covered:

• Root modules and state ownership
• Environment folder layouts
• Dev, staging, and production separation
• Shared modules with separate environments
• SSM Parameter Store for environment-specific configuration
• Why Git branches do not create Terraform isolation
• State boundaries and operational blast radius
