Root Cause
The JSON-formatted plan output is too large (over 4 MB) due to an excessive number of resources or large attribute values.
generic中文
由于资源数量过多或属性值过大,JSON 格式的计划输出过大(超过 4 MB)。

-
95% success Use 'terraform plan -out=plan.tfplan' to generate a binary plan file instead of JSON output, which has no size limit.
Use 'terraform plan -out=plan.tfplan' to generate a binary plan file instead of JSON output, which has no size limit.
-
85% success If you need JSON output, reduce the plan scope with 'terraform plan -target=resource_type.name' to focus on specific resources.
If you need JSON output, reduce the plan scope with 'terraform plan -target=resource_type.name' to focus on specific resources.
-
75% success Use 'terraform plan -compact-warnings' and 'terraform plan -no-color' to reduce output verbosity.
Use 'terraform plan -compact-warnings' and 'terraform plan -no-color' to reduce output verbosity.
中文步骤
使用 'terraform plan -out=plan.tfplan' 生成二进制计划文件而不是 JSON 输出,没有大小限制。
如果需要 JSON 输出,使用 'terraform plan -target=资源类型.名称' 减少计划范围,专注于特定资源。
使用 'terraform plan -compact-warnings' 和 'terraform plan -no-color' 减少输出冗余。
Dead Ends
Common approaches that don't work:
-
80% fail
The JSON output is what exceeds the limit, not the binary plan.
-
70% fail
Complex dependencies between resources may cause state fragmentation.
-
60% fail
Apply may still fail or produce unexpected results without a plan.
