Welcome to Terragen

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

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. Lookup values from other config files.

Pre-requisites

• Terraform - You must have Terraform installed locally to allow Terragen to run the Terraform CLI. See Installing Terraform
