Observability - Workspace Actions

[jcanizalez]

Feature description 💡

Workspace actions will allow customers to extend the Terraform state to another level. Right now Terrakube creates a diagram based on the Terraform State:

However the idea is to provide useful actions to each resource directly from the Terrakube ui. Example:

• Restart a web app
• Open the resource in the azure portal or AWS console
• View the resource logs using open telemetry
• Access the grafana dashboard to monitor the resource

When the user select a resource in the diagram, and if the resource has a workspace action defined they will see the button to perform the action. A drawer will appear on the right side with information about the resource and the defined workspaces actions on the resource

Workspace Actions are reusables pieces of code written in nodejs that can be share between the community. This can be shared via a registry or via a github repo. Nodejs has SDKs for the main cloud providers, so there will be unlimited possibilities of what you can define using . The function will receive a parameter context with all the variables inside the workspace, the global variables and with the information from the state for the specific resource selected. So the information in the terraform state will be useful to get the resource id and perform an action in that resource.

Then a customer can import the workspace action inside Terrakube.

A new endpoint will allow to define actions inside the organization

The following is an example of the table

Action Name: will be the name of the action that will appear in the UI button

Icon: Should be a SVG definition , this image will appear in the UI button

Function:  A nodes functions that implement the logic to be executed when the action is triggered

Resource Type: The resource to apply this action. 

Action name	Icon	Function	Action Type	Resource type
Restart Webapp	<SVG>	//nodejs logic here	UI	azurerm_app_service
View in Azure	<SVG>	open( ‘https://portal.azure', function (err) {   if ( err ) throw err;     });	UI	azurerm_%
Check logs		//nodejs logic to check status here	Scheduled	azurerm_%
