Project Configurations

Config files can be found under each config folders

• Global config file /config/common.tfvars contains global context TF variables that we inject to TF commands which are used by all sub-directories such as leverage terraform plan or leverage terraform apply and which cannot be stored in backend.tfvars due to TF.
• Account config files
  • backend.tfvars contains TF variables that are mainly used to configure TF backend but since profile and region are defined there, we also use them to inject those values into other TF commands.
  • account.tfvars contains TF variables that are specific to an AWS account.

• Such profile is usually one that relies on another profile to assume a role to get access to each corresponding account.
