Terraform Builder
Product Statement
The statement proposes a strategy for deploying cloud-native solutions using Infrastructure as Code (IaaC) and the Terraform framework. It recommends using IaaC for environment creation in all cloud-native deployments. The organization is building a UI tool in Angular to automate the creation of Terraform scripts for AWS, Azure, Azure Active Directory, Azure Stack, Docker, and Google Cloud Platform. This strategy aims to improve efficiency and reduce errors in cloud-native deployments by providing an intuitive interface for creating Terraform scripts across multiple cloud providers.
Solution
The development of a UI tool in Angular that automates the creation of Terraform scripts in an intuitive user interface. The tool guides the user through the process of creating a Terraform script and contains many automated scripts for multiple cloud providers. The output script is in JSON format and can be converted to HCL (Terraform format). The UI tool allows for the creation of multiple resources at the same time and the declaration of variables. Overall, this UI tool aims to simplify the process of creating Terraform scripts and enhance the user experience.
