Terraform lifecycle rules prevent accidental deletion by using the `prevent_destroy` meta-argument to block resource destruction, while `create_before_destroy` ensures new resources are created before old ones are removed to maintain availability.
Use `count` for Terraform resources when managing simple lists based on integer indices, and use `for_each` when creating resources from maps or sets to provide stable, unique identifiers that prevent unintended resource recreation.
The best way to manage Terraform state and avoid corruption is by configuring remote backends for centralized storage and enabling state locking to prevent concurrent operations from overwriting your infrastructure state files.
Terraform implicit dependencies are detected automatically from resource references, while explicit dependencies use the `depends_on` argument to force resource creation and destruction ordering when implicit detection is insufficient.
Terraform state locking depends on backend capabilities; remote backends like S3 with DynamoDB support locking to prevent concurrent state writes, while local backends lack native locking and risk corruption during parallel execution.
Terraform import fails when code does not match existing infrastructure because it only updates state without modifying resources; you must manually write matching resource configurations to prevent unexpected drift and recreation.
