so.. I’m required to use cloud formations at work along with manually spinning up amis and manually copying over values from cloud formations outputs.. it seems like I should be able to use terraform to automate around cloud formations
wonder if there should be a cloud formations resource
Hi All, in the process of migrating our ad-hoc AWS infrastructure to be managed using terraform, and I'm looking for some naming convention to use with AWS. I can easily find various suggestions for hostnames, but with AWS there are of course a lot more stuff to be named. Any pointers or suggestions?

morning

hey stack

hows things?
jedineeper
trying to figure out a new workflow for modules, 2 commits for a change, one for the module, one to launch that revision
i like the isolation, but there are some changes i'm aargh.
stack72
refactoring to modules is really tough as well
jedineeper
yeah
stack72
so at least you don’t need to deal with that *and* a new workflow
i think the module system needs a majot overhaul
I know someone who was going to open an issue about this
jedineeper
inheritence needs looking at, i pass so many duplicated things into every module vpc id, project name, subnet lists, etc etc
there are a few issues open onmodules
stack72
yeah for sure
jedineeper
i'm looking at remote state as a resource at the minute which saves a lot of variable passing
stack72
providers are another issue
by changing the provider structure of modules, I would be able to start doing things like multi-region in an easy manner
jedineeper
I get to dodge multi region until Q2 on my project ;)
t0m
we've moved to using remote state for a lot of variable passing
jedineeper
t0m: yeah, kevin recommended it and i've been doing some testing and its pretty awesome
t0m
so one layer makes vpc/subnets etc (the base stuff), the layer(s) above just pull those in as remote state
then we have a layer on top of that, which pulls in IPs/ELB names/etc for geo-dns :)
jedineeper
awesome

I really think that terraform needs a feature matrix to show what all the providers cover and what is still to build. I need a new project
