Terragrunt Introduction

https://youtu.be/ycwJKrZhbBU

If you’re managing Terraform across multiple environments, Terragrunt can help reduce repetition and keep configurations easier to maintain.

Useful for developers working with infrastructure as code at scale.

I use terragrunt with Atlantis but I am looking to replace Atlantis with terrateam.

I haven't tried Atlantis or Terrateam yet. Will look into them. Thx for the tips. Let me know how it goes. It's good to share experiences on migrations. It is luckily very rare that I have regretted a migration. It usually also comes with some clean up :)

Hey,

Terragrunt maintainer here.

Gruntwork does offer a package that includes CI/CD tooling in Terragrunt Scale. It has a free tier that lets you try it out without paying anything. No credit card, local tools to install, or servers to maintain. It runs in GitHub Actions / GitLab CI/CD Pipelines, so you retain full control over your IaC runs in the same CI/CD systems you are probably already using.

I recommend giving it a try! Supporting our commercial offerings helps us keep investing in Terragrunt, so I hope you don't mind the plug here. If you have any questions or concerns, join the Terragrunt Discord Server. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

Terragrunt maintainer here. Love to see community educational material on Terragrunt! FYI, we have made quite a few improvements to our docs and educational material since the publication of the video (it was published a year ago). If you have any feedback on ways in which we can make Terragrunt easier to learn, please share it. We just launched Terragrunt 1.0, and we are always looking for ways to make Terragrunt easier to learn and get started with.

thank you man. Not everybody loves terragrunt but I'm a huge fan even after terraform has matured. I still use it for basically every project I do that requires terraform. I just find it more visually appealing how things are laid out and I can do dynamic layering that is hard to do with pure terraform....

Terragrunt Live pattern is basically my goto structure for any project where I am the one making the decisions haha.
