Terraform Library

Welcome to my Terraform Library, a storage place for my assets related to my journey around Terraform and Iac for the Cloud.

Documentation	References

• It contains deployments and configuration for Kubernetes Cluster and companion infrastructure for different Cloud providers.
• Terraform operations use makefile inside every cloud provider (e.g. aws) to give you examples of the most common operation command set. There are targets for the most common scenarios: init (with backend), plan/apply and destroy but also a general action target to run any terraform command.
  • Copy .env.example to .env to customize the environment variables. Although, some variables can be passed as arguments to target in the make command (ROOT for example).
• Values Customization:
  • Variables: Copy shared.tfvars.example to shared.tfvars inside the cloud/provider/env folder. Then, copy .auto.tfvars.example to .auto.tfvars inside the root folders. Customize files with your values. It relies on Variables inheritance. See Terraform - Variable Precedence - Learning-Ocean
  • Backend:
    1. Apply the Root state-bucket creates a remote backend
    2. Copy backend.tf.example to backend.tf in every Root to use the backend created in the previous step.
• Companion Repositories:
  • Docker Library for testing using the image
  • The Helm provider uses the values from the Kubernetes library
    • ⚠️ IMPORTANT - It requires git submodule update --init --recursive
    • Helm provider is separated from the creation of the K8s cluster Stacking with managed Kubernetes cluster resources
• It uses Pre-commits for Validations and Documentation
