Description: The ‘Execution Log’ refers to a document or file that captures in detail all actions taken during the execution of commands in infrastructure as code tools like Terraform and similar technologies. This log is crucial for troubleshooting, as it allows developers and system administrators to track each step of the deployment and configuration process. It includes information about resources created, modified, or deleted, as well as any errors or warnings that may arise during execution. The clarity and accuracy of these logs are fundamental to ensuring that changes to the infrastructure are auditable and reproducible. Additionally, the execution log can be used for documentation and later analysis, facilitating the understanding of how a particular state of the infrastructure has been reached. In a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) environment, these logs are essential for maintaining transparency and traceability of changes made to code and infrastructure, contributing to better collaboration among teams and continuous improvement of development processes.
