terraform-aws-arc-bootstrap

Introduction

---

A backend specifies the location where Terraform stores its state data files. Terraform relies on persistent state data to monitor the resources under its management. This enables collaborative access to the state data, allowing multiple individuals to collaborate on the management of a set of infrastructure resources. This module creates and configures a S3 bucket backend along with a DynamoDB lock table to store Terraform state files. As a best practice use this module to create the backend for Terraform

Prerequisites

Before using this module, ensure you have the following:

• AWS credentials configured.
• Terraform installed.
• A working knowledge of Terraform.

Getting Started

1. Define the Module

Initially, it's essential to define a Terraform module, which is organized as a distinct directory encompassing Terraform configuration files. Within this module directory, input variables and output values must be defined in the variables.tf and outputs.tf files, respectively. The following illustrates an example directory structure:

bootstrap/
|-- main.tf
|-- variables.tf
|-- outputs.tf

1. Define Input Variables

Inside the variables.tf or in *.tfvars file, you should define values for the variables that the module requires.

1. Use the Module in Your Main Configuration In your main Terraform configuration file (e.g., main.tf), you can use the module. Specify the source of the module, and version, For Example

module "bootstrap" {
  source  = "sourcefuse/arc-bootstrap/aws"
  version = "1.1.3"
  bucket_name              = var.bucket_name
  dynamodb_name            = var.dynamodb_name
}

1. Output Values

Inside the outputs.tf file of the module, you can define output values that can be referenced in the main configuration. For example:

output "bucket_id" {
  value = module.bootstrap.bucket_id
}

output "bucket_name" {
  value = module.bootstrap.bucket_name
}

1. Execute Terraform Commands

After defining your main configuration, navigate to the directory containing your Terraform files and run the following commands:

terraform init
terraform apply

1. Review and Confirm

Terraform will display a plan showing the changes it intends to make. Review the plan and confirm by typing 'yes' when prompted.

1. Migrating local state to backend

After the initial apply of terraform, you can add backend section to migrate Terraforn state to S3 bucket

terraform {
  required_version = "~> 1.4"

  backend "s3" {
    region         = "us-east-1"
    key            = "terraform-bootstrap/terraform.tfstate"
    bucket         = "terraformbucketexample"
    dynamodb_table = "terraform-lock"
    encrypt        = true
  }
}

Then run terraform init to initialize the new backend:

Initializing modules...

Initializing the backend...
Do you want to migrate all workspaces to "aws"?
  Both the existing "local" backend and the newly configured "aws" backend
  support workspaces. When migrating between backends, Terraform will copy
  all workspaces (with the same names). THIS WILL OVERWRITE any conflicting
  states in the destination.

  Terraform initialization doesn't currently migrate only select workspaces.
  If you want to migrate a select number of workspaces, you must manually
  pull and push those states.

  If you answer "yes", Terraform will migrate all states. If you answer
  "no", Terraform will abort.

Our local state has now been migrated to the new backend. It is now safe to remove the local terraform.tfstate.

Development

Versioning

while Contributing or doing git commit please specify the breaking change in your commit message whether its major,minor or patch

For Example

git commit -m "your commit message #major"

By specifying this , it will bump the version and if you dont specify this in your commit message then by default it will consider patch and will bump that accordingly
