Terraform (TF) is a great way to provision infrastructure. In fact, it is to us becoming the de facto standard. There are ways to DRY (don't repeat yourself) your code to make it considerably easier for reuse and reduce the blast radius for changes.
This code continues where Terraforming TF Cloud leaves off.
TF modules can be thought of as reusable classes, if you're a programmer. They enable not only a way to reuse code, but a way to help architect more thoughtful solutions to speed up deployments, disaster recovery, and more.
This project is not intended to be used as a module for remote use. Take the files, customize them, and use them to your hearts content. Create an issue if you have questions.
The Makefile has general commands to use for ease of development. There aren't special by any means. Feel free to cd to directories and run the terraform CLI commands you know and love directly.
Available targets:
config-apply TF Apply the cloud-config directory
config-plan TF Plan the cloud-config directory
fmt Formats the TF
init Install required tools for local environment
plan TF Plan the terraform directoryAll other trademarks referenced herein are the property of their respective owners.
