tfpy

Create Terraform resources using Python.

Description

tfpy is a thin wrapper around terraformpy, aiming at providing a well defined structure to organize your terraform stacks and leverage the power of Python to define them rather than using HCL.

The goal is to have a repository layout inspired from Ansible where the stacks are driven by the variables.

For more information regarding how to create your stacks, please refer to the official terraformpy documentation.

Installation

tfpy requires Python 3.7+ to work

pip install tfpy

Usage

The tfpy command needs to be run at the root of your project.

The output will be created in a new subfolder within your project, named generated. For instance generated/gke/production/main.tf.json

• generated: folder where the stack are stored as JSON once generated.

• library: folder where you can place custom functions.

• stacks: the stacks created using TerraformPy.

• vars: the variables used to create the stacks.

Examples

Build a project stack without an environment:

tfpy generate organization

Build a project stack for a specific environment:

tfpy generate gke production
