## Introduction

`anster` is a infrastructure as code template that combines Ansible and Terraform. [Ansible variables](#setting-up-the-host_list) are used to create a `terraform.tfvars` file. Ansible then calls Terraform to create the infrastructure using a map with optional variables. The output given by Terraform is then parsed by Ansible to [dynamically build it's inventory](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/add_host_module.html) and used to configure the created infrastructure.

`anster` can be used in a couple of ways:

- You quickly need a VM 'in the cloud' with some barebones config.

- You want to test/build a Ansible playbook/role against a server hosted by a cloud infrastructure provider.

- You want to build a project that can consistently spin up and configure the same specific set of infrastructure whenever you need it with a single command.
