SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manage Harness Infrastructure as Code Management (IaCM) by configuring Terraform workspaces, remote state with RBAC, drift detection with auto-remediation, and cost estimation before deployment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workspace and State Management: Configure Terraform workspaces with remote backends, state encryption, RBAC, and versioned state.
  • Drift Detection: Set up continuous drift scanning with remediation workflows to keep real resources aligned with Terraform state.
  • Change Approval Workflows: Implement risk-based approval tiers to gate infrastructure changes.
  • Cost Estimation: Run pre-deployment cost analysis using Infracost to forecast budget impact.

Quick Start

Configure your first Terraform workspace with a remote backend, enable drift detection, and define a basic change-approval workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Terraform drift detection and remediation?

Automate Terraform drift detection by configuring continuous drift scanning with remediation workflows, keeping real cloud resources aligned with Terraform remote state and auto-correcting configuration deviations.

Can I estimate cloud infrastructure costs before deploying Terraform workspaces?

Estimate infrastructure costs before deployment by running pre-deployment cost analysis using Infracost integration to forecast budget impact across multi-cloud development, staging, and production environments.

How do I set up Terraform workspaces with remote state and RBAC?

Configure Terraform workspaces with remote backends, state encryption, role-based access control, and versioned state to manage multi-cloud environments requiring secure remote state infrastructure.

What is the best way to gate infrastructure changes with approval workflows?

Gate infrastructure changes by implementing risk-based approval tiers within change-approval workflows, providing step-by-step pipelines for plan, approve, and apply phases to control Terraform deployments.

Does Harness Infrastructure as Code Management support multi-cloud environments?

Harness Infrastructure as Code Management supports multi-cloud environments requiring remote state, RBAC, drift remediation, and cost visibility across development, staging, and production deployments.

Why use Infracost for Terraform cost estimation in staging and production?

Use Infracost for Terraform cost estimation to forecast budget impact before deployment, providing cost visibility across development, staging, and production environments to control infrastructure spending.
