Artifact Provider

Terraform has a provider for managing Terraform Enterprise artifacts called atlas_artifact.

This is used to make data stored in Artifacts available to Terraform for interpolation. In the following example, an artifact is defined and references an AMI ID stored in Terraform Enterprise.

~> Why is this called "atlas"? Atlas was previously a commercial offering from HashiCorp that included a full suite of enterprise products. The products have since been broken apart into their individual products, like Terraform Enterprise. While this transition is in progress, you may see references to "atlas" in the documentation. We apologize for the inconvenience.

provider "atlas" {
  # You can also set the atlas token by exporting ATLAS_TOKEN into your env
  token = "${var.atlas_token}"
}

data "atlas_artifact" "web-worker" {
  name    = "my-username/web-worker"
  type    = "amazon.image"
  version = "latest"
}

resource "aws_instance" "worker-machine" {
  ami           = "${atlas_artifact.web-worker.metadata_full.region-us-east-1}"
  instance_type = "m1.small"
}

This automatically pulls the "latest" artifact version.

Following a new artifact version being created via a Packer build, the following diff would be generated when running terraform plan.

-/+ aws_instance.worker-machine
    ami:             "ami-168f9d7e" => "ami-2f3a9df2" (forces new resource)
    instance_type:   "m1.small" => "m1.small"

This allows you to reference changing artifacts and trigger new deployments upon pushing subsequent Packer builds.
