Terraform CLI

Use the integration to execute Terraform templates and connect the execution with other integrations that Fylamynt offers.

Overview

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.

  2. Terraform_CLI_Apply - runs terraform apply on the specified module, does not wait for confirmation.
