Self-service infrastructure as code
We stumbled upon a project for maintaining Terraform with CRDs that we could deploy with Helm. That project is now called Tofu-Controller - another WeaveWorks project, so it integrated great with our existing Flux setup.

Disaster Recovery for AWS EKS Infra
Weave's TF-Controller, which also has fewer bugs, much better adoption, and it looks like it's actually being developed by someone. But requires a weird argocd <-> flux interop boilerplate. It's a "controller for flux" and not a Kubernetes controller, and I don't really get such ambiguous targeting , but meh...

Migrate from terragrunt to terraform
Wrt tools, I wanted to integrate terraform with Flux thanks to their tf-controller. Conciling the core gitops features with terraform would be great imho.
-
My recently deployed media apps in ArgoCD, migrating from Terraform.
I'm using Flux instead of Argo which has support for running terraform from a given Git Repo or OCI artifact so essentially I still fall back on Terraform when needed and it's applied via GitOps.

MySQL operators without the cluster
tf-controller which is integrated with Flux GitOps and reconciles Terraform files in a control loop

Automate your Terraform using GitOps with Flux
While searching for alternatives for running Terraform using Kubernetes, I found several controllers and operators, but none that I felt had as much potential as the tf-controller from Weaveworks. We are already using Flux as our GitOps tool, and the tf-controller works by utilizing some of the core functionality from Flux, and has a custom resource for Terraform deployments. The source controller takes care of fetching our modules, the kustomize controllers apply the Terraform resources, and then the controller spin up static pods (called runners) that runs your Terraform commands.

2022 was a great year for GitOps
For us, GitOps is a vital part of how we operate, and it is the magic sauce that fuels our platform offering. Not only do we use it for application deployments, but by utilizing the Weaveworks tf-controller, we can create services using Terraform to automate our infrastructure deployments.

Terraform to deploy and KEDA to scale - will it work?
Some further research brought me to Weaveworks' TF-Controller which appears to be able to do what I want at least for the initial deployment step. Flux CD (also by Weaveworks) integrates with KEDA now, so it would be great if it could also integrate with KEDA to manage terraform-deployed Azure resources.

Self-service infrastructure as code
Our first attempt was to introduce other engineering teams to Terraform - the Platform team was already using it extensively with Terragrunt, and using Atlantis to automate plan and apply operations in a Git flow to ensure infrastructure was consistent. We'd written modules, with documentation, and an engineer would simply need to raise a PR to use the module and provide the right values, and Atlantis (once the PR was approved by Platform) would go ahead and set it up for them.
