An extendable HTTP backend framework for terraform
- Optional state encryption with AES-256-GCM
- Custom state metadata extraction
- Extensible store
There are two components to a backend.
-
The backend itself which provides generic
http.HandleFunc
functions for the various operations required by an http state backend. This allows compatibility with most popular http server frameworks and allows control over authentication, ssl, etc. -
The store which is an interface that can be implemented to allow any storage type. This allows custom stores to be developed outside this repo.
