The Future of Terraform: ClickOps

• lingon

  6 74 9.1 Go

  Discontinued Lingon is a collection of libraries and tools for building platforms using Go.

  

We have a comparison of the main tools we looked into, for interest: https://github.com/volvo-cars/lingon/blob/main/docs/comparison.md

• terraform-aws-eks

  69 4,154 8.7 HCL

  Terraform module to create AWS Elastic Kubernetes (EKS) resources 🇺🇦

  

That's a very simplistic view. Let's do a small thought exercise. Is this module not infrastructure?

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• terraform-exec

  9 625 7.7 Go

  Terraform CLI commands via Go.

  

Debugging has actually been ok because all Lingon does is dump the HCL/YAML. For Kubernetes we shell out to kubectl and for Terraform we wrote a simple wrapper around terraform-exec that is not part of the core library. So when things go wrong, you're back to your basics.

• terraformer

  109 11,763 7.6 Go

  CLI tool to generate terraform files from existing infrastructure (reverse Terraform). Infrastructure to Code

  

We had thought about the ability to convert HCL to Go, but not much thought in querying existing infra to generate HCL (like terraformer). If you want to experiment building on top of Lingon then please go ahead! I’d be happy to help provide the context from Lingon.
