How to find the resource address?
We can perform the command below to list all resources in the Terraform state.
So, the resource we set the flag as “taint” will be destroyed and re-created in the apply phase.

terraform state list
Bash
You will see the output like this one:

(Add more example)
aws_instance.webserver[0]
So, when you identify the address from the resource that you are looking for, you need to run:

terraform taint aws_instance.webserver[0]
Bash
After, run:

terraform plan
Bash
And finally:

terraform apply




Terraform Untaint
Suppose Terraform has set a resource as tainted, but you feel it is working perfectly and does not desire to replace it. We can override Terraform’s decision utilizing the terraform untaint command in that scenario.

Usage:

terraform untaint <address>
So, we can run:

terraform untaint aws_instance.webserver[0]



Conclusion
So, we learned that the terraform taint command is used for replacing a resource, whatever the reason. Also, we have alternatives where we can use the “terraform apply” or “terraform plan” command with a “replace” argument.

Also, we can undo the “terraform taint” or “replace” by executing the terraform untaint.
