Deploy Single Device

Deploy Terraform config to a single target device safely.

Inputs

• Terraform working directory
• Device identifier (resource address or provider alias)
• Optional custom plan filename

Steps

1. Validate context

• Confirm current working directory contains Terraform files.
• Confirm provider endpoint and port are configured for the target alias.

2. Resolve target

• If user gives a hostname/alias, derive the Terraform resource address.
• If ambiguous, list candidate resources and ask user to choose.

3. Create targeted plan

terraform plan -target='<resource-address>' -out one-device.plan

4. Apply targeted plan

terraform apply one-device.plan

5. Verify post-apply

terraform state show '<resource-address>'
terraform plan

6. Report

• Summarize applied resource, endpoint used, and whether final full plan is clean.

Guardrails

• Prefer saved plan files for targeted operations.
• Do not use -auto-approve unless user explicitly asks.
• If endpoint lookup/connectivity fails, stop and provide host/port remediation steps.
