Terraform Apply Fail

Partial failed terraform apply

If terraform fails part way though and is left in inconsistent state even after you fix issues you might get:

• Resource already exists with that name even though created because didn't save in state file.
• Duplicate copies for resources that don’t enforce unique identities.

Fix

• Manually find everything that got deployed, delete it, and re-run terraform apply.
• Manually find everything that got deployed, and for each such resource, run terraform import 41.
