# Terraform Operator
> A Kubernetes CRD and Controller to handle Terraform operations by generating k8s pods catered to perform Terraform workflows
## What is terraform-operator?
This project is:
- A way to run Terraform in Kubernetes by defining Terraform deployments as Kubernetes manifests
- A controller that configures and starts [Terraform Workflows](http://tf.galleybytes.com/docs/architecture/workflow/) when it sees changes to the Kubernetes manifest
- Workflow runner pods that execute Terraform plan/apply and other user-defined scripts
This project is not:
- An HCL to YAML converter or vice versa
- A Terraform Module or Registry
## Installation
The preferred method is to use helm. See [Install using Helm](http://tf.galleybytes.com/docs/getting-started/installation/#install-using-helm) on the docs.
Another simple method is to install the resources under `deploy` & `deploy/crds`
```bash
git clone https://github.com/galleybytes/terraform-operator.git
cd terraform-operator
kubectl apply -f deploy/bundles/v0.17.1/v0.17.1.yaml
```
See [more installation options](http://tf.galleybytes.com/docs/getting-started/installation/).

### Debug With `tfo` CLI
Terraform is great, but every now and then, a module takes a turn for the worse and the workflow fails. When this happens, a terraform workflow will need to be "debugged."
Fortunately, the `tfo` cli (https://github.com/isaaguilar/terraform-operator-cli) can be used to start a debug pod which is connected directly to the same terraform session the workflow runs. It does so by reading the TFO resource and generates a pod with the same environment vars, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and ServiceAccount as a regular workflow pod. Then it drops the user in a shell directly in the main module.
```bash
tfo debug my-tfo-resource --namespace default
```
The user should be ready to rock-n-roll and show off their mad debugging skills.
```bash
Connecting to my-tfo-resource-ca6ajn94-v2-debug-qmjd5.....
Try running 'terraform init'
/home/tfo-runner/generations/2/main$
```
Happy debugging!
