Switching between multiple Terraform versions
In the previous recipes, we learned how to install one specific version of Terraform manually or by script.
In some scenarios, we need to have different Terraform versions installed on the same workstation:
- When we work on multiple Terraform configuration projects, it’s often required to have different versions of Terraform binary used by each of these projects
