Tfvars: Friendly Names
You can configure a layering.names map to assign friendly names to the layer name. Currently, namespace is supported. Example setup:
config/app.rb
Terraspace.configure do |config|
config.layering.names = {
"111111111111" => "dev-account",
"222222222222" => "prod-account",
}
end
This maps the 111111111111 namespace to a friendly name dev-account. So when you build or deploy it’ll use the friendly name. Example:
$ ls app/stacks/demo/tfvars/dev-account/
base.tfvars
$ terraspace build demo
$ ls .terraspace-cache/us-west-2/dev/stacks/demo/*.tfvars
.terraspace-cache/us-west-2/dev/stacks/demo/1-dev-account-base.auto.tfvars
$
Without the mapping, the paths would look like so:
$ ls app/stacks/demo/tfvars/111111111111/
base.tfvars
$ terraspace build demo
$ ls .terraspace-cache/us-west-2/dev/stacks/demo/*.tfvars
.terraspace-cache/us-west-2/dev/stacks/demo/1-111111111111-base.auto.tfvars
$
Here’s a useful command to check for the AWS account id.
$ aws sts get-caller-identity
{
"UserId": "EXAMPLE16O4571EXAMPLE",
"Account": "111111111111",
"Arn": "arn:aws:iam::111111111111:user/tung"
}
