Synchronize Deployments in Automation ​

Automation is the recommended way to run deployments and synchronize the results to Terramate Cloud.

Automation Blueprints ​

Terramate CLI can run in any CI/CD and we provide Blueprints for various CI/CD platforms:

Required Permission ​

To gather metadata from GitHub about the pull request associated with the preview, a GITHUB_TOKEN needs to be exposed or a valid GitHub CLI configuration needs to be available.

Best Practices ​

  • Restrict elevated access to your cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure) and access to Terraform State to automation flows.
  • Use OpenID Connect (OIDC) to authenticate to your Cloud Provider to use short-lived credentials - Terramate CLI uses OIDC by default.
  • Ensure that all deployments to all environments are synchronized to Terramate Cloud to have access to historic deployment data and to get notifications about failures when they happen
  • Run a Drift Check right after the deployment and synchronize the result to Terramate Cloud to get an immediate health check and ensure the deployment is stable.
  • Set up Notifications to get informed about new deployments and detect failures fast.
