HCP Terraform stacks demo for Spacelift blog post

Prerequisites

• An HCP Terraform organization
• Add your VCS provider to HCP Terraform
• Make a copy of this repository
• Download the Terraform stacks CLI (documentation)
• AWS CLI credentials available in your terminal
• HCP Terraform credentials available in your terminal (run terraform login)
• Download an alpha-release version of Terraform and make sure it is in your $PATH before your normal Terraform binary. Downloads are available here

Steps to set up the demo

1. Set up the trust relationship between AWS and HCP Terraform by deploying the code in setup.
2. Copy the AWS IAM role ARN output from the previous step and add it to the locals block in deployments.tfdeploy.hcl.
3. Run tfstacks init
4. Run terraform version -json | jq -r .terraform_version > .terraform-version (or equivalent on Windows) to create a file with the alpha-release version number of Terraform you are using.
5. Commit the new file updates to your git repo, then follow the steps in the blog post to create the Terraform stack on HCP Terraform.
