Configure, generate and apply Terraform modules to create and destroy Cloud Infrastructure

Project description

terragen

Terragen is a framework for generating and automatically applying Terraform modules to simplify the management of sophisticated Cloud Architectures

Config is read from the local config directory. Config is controlled by the hydra framework, check the docs for examples

Key Features

  • Simplify the creation and destruction of infra across multiple accounts and regions, using one command
  • Fine grained CLI control, all config elements can be overridden on the CLI
  • View generated Terraform files before they are applied. Each run creates a timestamped output directory
  • Control common and app specific infra separately. Infra that is shared, eg VPCs, Databases can be controlled separately but still referenced by app specific infra
  • Create base config files you can "sub-class" for specific implementations, allows you to enforce config patterns across your estate
  • Boiler plate Terraform files, like config, tfvars automatically generated
  • Variable interpolation. You can lookup values from other config files.

Installing

Terragen can be installed via pip:

pip install terragen

Quick Start

Terragen expects two directories of configuration to be created. modules containing all terraform modules you want to configure. config containing the configuration for each module you want to deploy. A sample directory structure shown below:

--config
----__init__.py
----config.yaml
--modules
----aws
--------ec2
------------main.tf

Running

Terragen looks for a default config.yaml file in config directory. You must specify location of config directory using --config-dir or -cd, for example:

terragen --config-dir ./config

You can also create specfic config files for certain applications, eg

terragen -cd ./config --config-name sandbox

Overriding values on command line

Any config value can be overridden on the command line using dot notation, eg:

terragen --config-dir ./config build.environment=test

Debugging

Run Terragen with cfg and resolve flags to output interpolations

terragen -cd ./config --cfg job --resolve

You can enable verbose debug logging by passing the following:

terragen -cd ./config hydra.verbose=true
