Pretf

Pretf is a completely transparent, drop-in Terraform wrapper that generates Terraform configuration with Python. It requires no configuration and no changes to standard Terraform projects to start using it.

Terraform includes first-class support for configuration in JSON files. Pretf generates those JSON files using your Python functions.

Features and goals

• Drop into any standard Terraform project.
  • Configuration is optional and often unnecessary.
  • Just add Python files next to the Terraform files.
  • Standard Terraform command line usage.
• Obvious.
  • Projects using Pretf are like standard Terraform projects but with extra Python files.
  • Python files in projects are self-explanatory; their purpose is obvious.
• Minimal.
  • No concept of specific Terraform resources, instead there is a generic way to output JSON configuration blocks.
  • Small API.
  • Small project scope.
  • Easy to learn.
• Flexible.
  • Change the entire workflow if you want.
