Terraform CLI
This document describes the Terraform CLI integration, not to be confused with our support for the Terraform Cloud integration.
SREs run multiple types of code (e.g. Terraform templates, Ansible playbooks, Python scripts) to automate their tasks. Currently, ad-hoc mechanisms to manage secrets, pass data, collect logs, and manage users are being developed. We built this integration, specifically to support the execution of Terraform templates.
Details needed to set up Terraform CLI instance in Fylamynt:
The module code is expected to be in a GitHub or S3 Bucket Resource.
Navigate to Settings > Resources > Terraform Modules
Parameter Name | Description | Required |
Module Name | Reference name for the module. This will be used by action nodes. | True |
Target Account | The target account against which Terraform CLI actions will be run | True |
Root | The base of the terraform module tree, defaults to the root directory | False |
Click on Manage Modules
Click on Add New

All Terraform CLI Actions run asynchronously, and the results are stored in log_bucket under log_key once they finish. All actions are configured the same way:
Terraform_CLI_Plan - runs terraform plan on the specified module.
Terraform_CLI_Apply - runs terraform apply on the specified module, does not wait for confirmation.
Terraform_CLI_Show - runs terraform show on the specified module.
Terraform_CLI_Destroy - runs terraform destroy on the specified module, does not wait for confirmation.
