The TACO Project

Where am I ?

This is the homepage of the TACO project obviously…

TACO is a thin ansible wrapper for Terraform that provides extra features for keeping your Terraform configurations DRY and managing remote state.

For you to benefit of TACO, you need to make your terraform projects match some basic requirements.

Have a terraform directory, in which you will group several directories containing Terraform code. These sub-directories terraform/* will be our layers directories.

You must have Ansible installed
Get the project code, either by:
- Downloading it
- or git clone the project
For comfort, I recommend to export a TACO_HOME environment variable to point to the root of the TACO project on your machine
Then simply run ansible-playbook ${TACO_HOME}/taco.yml from the root of a compliant Terraform project.
- You will have to supply 4 variables to the ansible run :
  - tflayer: the name of the Terraform layer you want to target
  - deploy_env: a label that should be used to differenciate you several tfstates
  - deploy_region: the region you will work in
  - tfaction: the desired Terraform workflow phase you want
