Sane defaults for terraform templates

Open bnookala opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

As a:

Operator

I want:

Defaults for my terraform templates

So that:

I don't have to manually fill in every terraform variable

Describe the solution you'd like:

Defaults for all terraform variables that I must provide to make a bedrock deployment work.

Additional context:

Many of the variables required don't have any defaults, so they have to be provided manually.

Does this require updates to documentation?:

Yes

@bnookala do you think the bedrock infra scaffold workflow solves this?

@andrebriggs @NathanielRose From the looks of this, I think this seems to be strictly speaking of the Bedrock Terraform templates, not the bedrock CLI. It's not possible to provide a default value for every variable, especially if we expect users to "BYO" resources. I think as we currently stand, our main templates already provide as many defaults as we can.

Unless we provide a "starter" script to create these resources beforehand, and etc...
