Seamless Cloud Infrastructure: Integrating Terragrunt and Terraform with AWS

• terraform

  507 41,369 9.9 Go

  Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.

  Terragrunt is a thin wrapper for Terraform that provides extra tools for working with multiple Terraform modules.

  Terraform automation for teams. Purpose-built for GitHub.

  

Terrateam: After getting into some really big issues when running Terragrunt with Github Actions, I decided to look for a better CI solution. Terrateam is my CI/CD tool of choice here. Unfortunately as of December 2023, they increased their price from USD $175 to USD $496 monthly. Me being an existing customer I still pay the old amount (thank God!) Alternatively, you can look at solutions like Atlantis or spacelift.

If you're provisioning the above resources for the first time, you'll have to either configure Terraform to use specific AWS keys as you won't have OIDC connection yet. In my case, I chose to have those pre-requesites resources in a CloudFormation template and deploy them with StackSets.
