Terraform as `API`?

[gyuho]

I would like to integrate terraform in my Go code. What do you recommend for implementation in general? Do you have any plan to make this as package?

Btw, I really appreciate your work. It's great! Thanks!

Terraform is designed pretty well for embedding. See how the command package makes use of the terraform package. That is about the distance/effort we're going to put into supporting this use case, and we don't make guarantees about API stability!

Got it. Thanks Mitchellh!

@gyuho I'm interesting to to create a RESTful api that drive terraform

Have you started a project like this ?

[gyuho]

@waghanza I don't have any plan :)

@gyuho ok. I plan to write such tool, but as new in golang, I will probably create a POC in python

Hello @waghanza

I also am looking to utilize terraform as an API. I was going to write this utilizing https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-terraform and https://github.com/fission/fission.

I'd hate to duplicate efforts.

Have you began writing this yet?

Thank you,
Cody Hill

Hi @c0dyhi11,

I'm trying to create suck app. I'll be glad to have some help ;-)

Actually, the project is only created https://github.com/cloud-builders/farmer, but I have not pushed yet.

I have create an OpenGroup (or what aims to be so), @Cloud-builders to organize a project around public cloud building.

I plan to create this API, a web ui to manage a PaaS (like OpsWorks but OSS) ...

Regards,

[waghanza]

@c0dyhi11 I am create restful tool https://github.com/cloud-builders/shaping to be a wrapper around terraform.

This API aims only to run terraform (a dialect per provider). I will create an other tool (but later) to use one dialect for all providers ;-)
