We were at my work, but unfortunately Terraform was lacking a number of critical features for AWS at the time. It's an amazing tool, but it needs a bit more time in the oven for our use cases :)
We ended up writing a "clone" of Terraform that just did the things terraform was missing using Boto, except our state files were readable JSON instead of a binary format.
- sciurus 12y agoFYI starting in 0.3 Terraform state files are JSON.
- girvo 12y agoYeah, which I'm super happy about. Fingers crossed we'll be able to go and replace our home-brew tool with Terraform now that the gaps are starting to fill up.
- robbles 12y agoWhat was it missing? Does it have those features now?
- girvo 12y agoTagging and a lot of VPC features, as well as managing EBS volumes properly. A lot of little stuff, basically, that meant that we couldn't fully automate our infrastructure using this. A lot of that has been fixed in 0.2 and now 0.3, so I have very high hopes!
