terragrunt
Terragrunt is a thin wrapper for Terraform that provides extra tools for working with multiple Terraform modules.
Spacelift goes a few steps further though and puts policy-as-code in the center of its value proposition and builds a consistent, robust policy framework. Apart from providing a comprehensive automated change review and ensuring compliance of your Terraform changes, Spacelift uses the same approach to allow you to declare rules around account and project access, handling push notifications, starting runs and triggering tasks, and creating relationships between projects. It also provides the Policy Workbench, which lets you view past executions of your policy – including the inputs and decisions that have been made – and lets you interactively edit your policy, while simulating its execution on these previous inputs. You can use our starter repo to quickly provision a bunch of policies and get a feel for how you can work with them in Spacelift.
Both Spacelift and Atlantis let you use Open Policy Agent – an open-source solution endorsed by Cloud Native Computing Foundation – to ensure that your infrastructure is compliant with industry best practices and your company policies. Atlantis integrates with conftest to achieve that and lets you verify each Terraform plan using OPA policies.
Handling interdependencies between projects has always been Terraform’s Achilles’ heel and Atlantis is no different in that regard. The usual approach to this problem is adding another layer of abstraction in the form of a Terraform wrapper like Terragrunt. While this breaks the problem into smaller chunks, it’s only a partial solution achieved at a cost of locking yourself into another dependency.
