We have a few different .proto files in this repository that all need to get recompiled into .pb.go files each time we change them, but we were previously handling that with some scripts that just assumed that protoc and the relevant plugins were already installed on the system somewhere, at the right versions. In practice we've been constantly flopping between different versions of these tools due to folks having different versions installed in their development environments. In particular, the state of the .pb.go files in the prior commit wasn't reproducible by any single version of the tools because they've all slightly diverged from one another. In the interests of being more consistent here and avoiding accidental inconsistencies, we'll now centralize the protocol buffer compile steps all into a single tool that knows how to fetch and install the expected versions of the various tools we need and then run those tools with the right options to get a stable result. If we want to upgrade to either a newer protoc or a newer protoc-gen-go in future then we'll do that in a central location and update all of the .pb.go files at the same time, so that we're always consistently tracking the same version of protocol buffers everywhere. While doing this I attempted to keep as close as possible to the toolchain we'd most recently used, but since they were not consistent with each other they've now all changed which version numbers they record at minimum, and the planproto stub in particular now also has a slightly different descriptor serialization but is otherwise offering the same API. |

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.
For more information, see the introduction section of the Terraform website.
Getting Started & Documentation
Documentation is available on the Terraform website:
If you're new to Terraform and want to get started creating infrastructure, please check out our Getting Started guides on HashiCorp's learning platform. There are also additional guides to continue your learning.
Show off your Terraform knowledge by passing a certification exam. Visit the certification page for information about exams and find study materials on HashiCorp's learning platform.
Developing Terraform
This repository contains only Terraform core, which includes the command line interface and the main graph engine. Providers are implemented as plugins, and Terraform can automatically download providers that are published on the Terraform Registry. HashiCorp develops some providers, and others are developed by other organizations. For more information, see Extending Terraform.
