Terraform has an assumption that your infrastructure would only be deployed once. But what if you wanted a staging or testing environment? You would have to manage state files and variable files yourself in different directories.
Terrenv is a simple tool that lets you switch environments seemlessly.
Install it with:
$ gem install terrenv
Run
$ terrenv init
and follow the instructions to generate a TerraformFile
$ terrenv init
will ask you some questions to setup your TerraformFile. You will need to run
terrenv apply inorder to apply the settings.
$ terrenv apply
will take the configuration in the TerraformFile does a few steps for setup
- Create directories for each environment labeled
terraform-<environment>. - Setup your remote state-file configurations and pull down the state files from
the S3 bucket and placed inside
terraform-<environment> - Sets up your environment to the last environment specified on the TerraformFile
$ terrenv use <environment>
will switch the symlinks to point to the environment specified.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
