tfctl

Purpose

This CLI tool is used to orchestrate Terraform Cloud runs. Its goal is not to cover the entire administation of Terraform Cloud, but instead to solve a very simple workflow.

That workflow is to trigger common actions against workspaces by referencing tags only.

For example, I would like to create a destroy run on all workspace that match the tag 'demo', or I would like to cancel all runs on workspaces that match the tags 'dev'.

If you are looking for a complete CLI tool that orchestrates with Terraform Cloud, I'd recommend that you check out tecli and tfx.

Requirements

Required environment variables

Env	Description
TFC_ORGANIZATION	The name of your Terraform Cloud organization
