Can you explain why this is better?

sudermanjr commented 6 years ago

Using an outfile ensures that the plan you see is what gets applied when you apply. It also allows for the un-prompted apply to happen.

IIRC this is the way that Terraform suggests you run it.

Exactly- when you terraform plan without saving the output, it's just a dry-run. Then when you terraform apply, it does another terraform plan, asks you to accept that plan, and then runs it.
