  • How to understand existing code?

    I'm going to have to figure out how to run terraform-docs.io against each module. I have zero terraform experience.

    One thing you might try is running https://terraform-docs.io/ against each module. You can generate markdown that more or less tells you the inputs and outputs for each module so you don't have to go hunt them down if the module authors have scattered their declarations around the different .tf files. Also if you're lucky enough that they actually put the description fields in to the declarations, it will put that in the markdown also. Just knowing the module interfaces goes a long way in understanding what the modules do or can't do, what stuff is hard coded and what stuff you need to hunt for, e.g. are there a bunch of data terraform_remote_state resources pulling inputs in to the module instead of using variable declarations, etc.

    Terraform-docs: This tool generates documentation for your Terraform modules in various formats, such as Markdown, HTML, and JSON. Terraform-docs parses your Terraform code and extracts documentation from comments, variable and output descriptions, and input/output examples. The tool then generates a table of contents with links to the relevant documentation for each module, which makes it easy to understand the purpose and usage of each module.

  • Terraform documentation of modules with nested inputs with optuonals?
    2 projects | reddit.com/r/Terraform | 11 Dec 2022
    I have been using https://terraform-docs.io to generate documentation of my terraform modules. However creating nested objects with optionals makes the documentation rather ugly and hard to read. See gh issue which also describes this type of issue: https://github.com/terraform-docs/terraform-docs/issues/656

    I am looking for a way to automate doc creation and updates for ansible roles. I recently discovered terraform-docs and I am curious if there is something similar for ansible.

  • Treating your terraform code "as an app". Favouring inputs over code changes. I wish I saw more like this in places I worked at.

    This was a decent read. I definitely found myself agreeing with many of the points here. I do prefer terragrunt over the use of tfvar files though and I didn't see terraform-docs mentioned which is an excellent tool for building standardized module documentation
