Terraform UUID

On the Terraform Registry: Invicton-Labs/uuid/random

This module functions similarly to the uuid() function, except that it produces a UUID value during the plan step which remains consistent through to the apply step.

On Windows, it will use PowerShell's built-in [guid]::NewGuid() function. On Unix, it will use the first of the following methods that is available:

• uuidgen (if it's installed)
• cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid (most Linux systems)
• cat /compat/linux/proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid (FreeBSD)
• /dev/urandom (other Unix-based systems, e.g. MacOS)
• /dev/random (other Unix-based systems, e.g. MacOS)

Regardless of the method that it uses, it guarantees that the output always matches the expected UUID format with hyphens.

Usage

module "uuid" {
  source = "Invicton-Labs/uuid/random"
}

output "uuid" {
  value = module.uuid.uuid
}

Note that it knows the new output value prior to applying.

Changes to Outputs:
  ~ uuid = "0446f814-250f-4df3-9815-baddb952285f" -> "af7e0bea-08e0-4a60-a165-8a4847862276"
