connecting Terraform Cloud to local machine

This Article Demonstrates How to connect a local Machine where we Installed Terraform and we connect it to Terraform cloud where resources will be Created at Terraform Cloud , and Logs will be Streamed at Local Machine.

purpose:

logs of terraform plan and terrafrom apply can be streamed to local and output can be vieed at cloud

procedure:

Login to app.Terraform.io and Create an organization

• create a workspace
• configure variables

create a file myfile.tf on our local machine

terraform {
  required_version = "~> 0.12"
  backend "remote" {
    organization = "rohit777"

    workspaces {
      name = "myworkspace777"
    }
  }
}
resource aws_instance "myec2" {
  ami           = "ami-096fda3c22c1c990a"
  instance_type = "t2.large"
}

Create a file backend.hcl on our Local machine

workspaces { name = “myworkspace777” }

hostname = “app.terraform.io”

organization = “rohit777”

do terraform init on our Local Machine

terraform init -backend-config=”f.tf”

Execute terraform login command

The Screen shows as below

Do Terraform apply on our local machine

Resources can be seen Created at Terraform cloud

Goto Terraform cloud

And do confirm apply

The Screen will be as shown below

That’s Cool we have successfully connected our Terraform Cloud to Local amchine where we can see Resources are created at Terraform cloud and Logs can be seen at Local machine where Terraform is Installed.
