terraform-example-foundation VS terramate

- How do we secure?

You can use this approach for each step along the way, how to secure secrets in your cloud? code? IaC? container deployments? CI/CD?

If we assume infra / app is code, the tooling matters a lot less. How do you provision certificates via IaC? How do you grant IAM to resources and how do you revoke?

There are examples like https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-exampl... of more advanced IaC architectures, but you can start as small or as complex as you want and evolve if done properly.

Personally, I love me some Kubernetes + ArgoCD (GitOps) + Google Workload Identity + Google Secret Manager, but I am 100% biased.

Also looked for something similar, and unfortunately didnt find one. Based our enterprise repo off the caf model (not using the module) similar to this google repo: https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-example-foundation

How did I tackle this exam? 1. On github there is an example foundation for GCP on terraform. https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-example-foundation I went through this week after week to help me learn. I made customizations and I deployed and destroyed over and over again, making changes. I used this to create a basic organization with a website, this is how I learnt.

If you are looking to setup a new cloud project with Terraform, then that is an another thing. For GCP, Google offers a toolkit: https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-example-foundation

https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-example-foundation maybe have a look at the layer approach from Google?

‍Terramate is an open-source IaC orchestration tool for Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, Cloudformation, and others, that streamlines and scales your IaC workflows.

Nice, this looks close to https://terramate.io/ stacks

You might want to take a look at Terramate. Compared to other tooling such as Terragrunt we're not a wrapper that will lock you in yet another syntax. Terramate is a code generator and orchestrator that helps you to generate native Terraform that can be executed in whatever environment of your choice.

Another option for Terragrunt could be Terramate. It comes with Code Generation that helps you to automatically generate files such as Terraform, Provider and Backend configurations in various stacks (directories). The upside is that it always generates native Terraform code.

This can be done with a tool such as Terramate or Terragrunt (afaik Terragrunt doesn't come with change detection).

I'd love to add Terramate to the list of alternatives to Terraform Cloud!

That sounds like something Terramate helps with. I've been using it exactly for that purpose (code generation) and it made everything so much easier!
