Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.
|
||||
|
||||
The key features of Terraform are:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Infrastructure as Code**: Infrastructure is described using a high-level
|
||||
configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be
|
||||
versioned and treated as you would any other code. Additionally,
|
||||
infrastructure can be shared and re-used.

|
||||
|
||||
* **Execution Plans**: Terraform has a "planning" step where it generates
|
||||
an _execution plan_. The execution plan shows what Terraform will do when
|
||||
you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when Terraform
|
||||
manipulates infrastructure.

|
||||
|
||||
* **Resource Graph**: Terraform builds a graph of all your resources,
|
||||
and parallelizes the creation and modification of any non-dependent
|
||||
resources. Because of this, Terraform builds infrastructure as efficiently
|
||||
as possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their
|
||||
infrastructure.

|
||||
|

* **Change Automation**: Complex changesets can be applied to
|
||||
your infrastructure with minimal human interaction.

||||
With the previously mentioned execution
|
||||
plan and resource graph, you know exactly what Terraform will change
|
||||
and in what order, avoiding many possible human errors.

Developing Terraform
|

--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to work on Terraform itself or any of its built-in providers,
|
||||
you'll first need [Go](http://www.golang.org) installed on your machine (version
|
||||
1.2+ is _required_). Alternatively, you can use the Vagrantfile in the root of
|
||||
this repo to stand up a virtual machine with the appropriate dev tooling
|
||||
already set up for you.

For local dev first make sure Go is properly installed, including setting up
|
||||
a [GOPATH](http://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH). Next, install the following
|

software packages, which are needed for some dependencies:

Next, clone this repository into `$GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/terraform`.
|

Install the necessary dependencies by running `make updatedeps` and then just
|
||||
type `make`. This will compile some more dependencies and then run the tests. If
|
||||
this exits with exit status 0, then everything is working!

### Acceptance Tests

Terraform also has a comprehensive

[acceptance test](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_testing)
|

suite covering most of the major features of the built-in providers.

|

is functioning (and hasn't broken anything else), we recommend running

the acceptance tests. Note that we _do not require_ that you run or

|
||||
|

**Warning:** The acceptance tests create/destroy/modify _real resources_,
|
||||
which may incur real costs. In the presence of a bug, it is technically
|
||||
possible that broken providers could corrupt existing infrastructure
|
||||
as well. Therefore, please run the acceptance providers at your own
|
||||
risk. At the very least, we recommend running them in their own private
|
||||
account for whatever provider you're testing.

The `TEST` variable is required, and you should specify the folder where

the provider is. The `TESTARGS` variable is recommended to filter down

early and tell you what to set, so it is not documented here.
