In today’s modern tech landscape, automating infrastructure is a requirement for businesses.Terraform is the industry-standard infrastructure-as-code tool to automate the creation and management of infrastructure.
We’ve listened to your requests for a Terraform integration with Astronomer, and today, we’re excited to announce that the Astro Terraform Provider is generally available for public use!
The Astro Terraform provider unlocks the ability to automate, scale, and manage your Astro infrastructure. By using Terraform alongside Astro, you can reduce manual effort, minimize errors, and create a more streamlined approach to managing data orchestration. Users can now leverage Terraform as a powerful option for managing their Astro resources as code, alongside our API, CLI, and UI.
Powerful Features of the Astro Terraform Provider
The Astro Terraform Provider brings several new features to the table, enabling you to seamlessly integrate infrastructure management into your workflows. Here’s what’s possible:
Data Sources: Fetch Existing Information
With Terraform data sources, you can retrieve essential details about your existing Astro infrastructure. This helps you automate workflows by referencing objects and configurations you already have in place.
Instead of manually looking up deployment configurations or workspace details, teams managing multiple deployments can use Terraform data sources to programmatically fetch this information. This enables easier monitoring and integration of deployment details into other systems or automation processes.
- Supported Data Sources: Cluster, Clusters, Cluster Options, Deployment, Deployments, Deployment Options, Organization, Workspace, Workspaces, Team, Teams, User, Users, Token, and Tokens
Resources: Create, Manage, and Destroy with Precision
Terraform resources represent the infrastructure components you manage through code. With the Astro Terraform Provider, you can create, update, or delete critical parts of your Astro infrastructure.
Instead of manually creating multiple similar deployments or workspaces, teams can use Terraform resources to define them, ensuring each resource is standardized and consistent. This allows for users to easily scale their infrastructure using Terraform, and yields more structure in their system.
Supported Resources: Cluster, Deployment, Workspace, Hybrid Cluster Workspace Authorization, Team Roles, Team, User Invite, User Roles, and Token
Terraform Import Script: Seamless Migration of Existing Resources
We’re making migration easier with the Terraform Import Script. The script automatically imports the resources a user defines, into Terraform.
Users can import existing Astro resources without the need to manually define each import block or write their own script. Whether you’re new to Astro or have been with us for a while, this tool ensures a hassle-free migration.
- Supported Resources: Workspace, Deployment, Cluster, Hybrid Cluster Workspace Authorization, API Token, Team, Team Roles, and User Roles
