Terraform

All resources should be added do one of the region submodules under _modules.

Install Terraform

brew install tfenv # install terraform version manager

# install a terraform version (check your `versions.tf` file for the right version!)
tfenv install
tfenv use
terraform -v

Or go to terraform install doc page

Local Testing

While it can be difficult to validate terraform changes without deploying them out, the terraform validate command can be used to catch most common syntax errors.

Terraform Validate

# downloads all needed libraries into a cache in a .terraform folder
terraform init -backend=false
terraform validate # runs the validate command

Local Formatting

# Automatically formats all .tf files in all subdirectories
terraform fmt -recursive .

Deploying

Create a bucket s3 manualy in your account to do the version control and update the terraform.tf file with the name and region.
