HI, what's the tool you use for ECS deployment? with monitoring and rolebacks

Does anyone here use CircleCI to trigger terraform runs?

Also, is anyone here using TF Cloud / TF Enterprise?

I'm wondering how to have my circle jobs "wait" for terraform to complete, or check their status

Also trying to figure out how to detect which terraform files changed, if any, and perform a run in each ...

Hello..I would soon be starting the same.. Have been running TF scripts via Jenkins so far. In CircleCi, I usually use requires: in the workflows: to have one build step wait on the other. Does that not work in your case ?

Are you using the TF remote executor ?

We use CircleCI for our deployments of EC2 infrastructure. Each stage is broken into its own step and run in its own docker container. So for example we run the plan step and pass the output tfplan to the next step which runs the apply step based off the plan output. We set this up by using the machine execution and call docker via a bash script to pass in TF_VAR variables.

There are CircleCI orbs out there that can do this for you and can help like this one > https://circleci.com/orbs/registry/orb/ngs/terraform

Hey guys,
Faced the issue with CircleCI where it doesn’t have some static IPs to be whitelisted.
Any suggestions on how to reach private AWS EKS endpoint out of CircleCI in order to do some k8s stuff?

Hey,

anyone know a good alternative to CircleCi? I know that @Andrew Roth is currently checking different options maybe you can share what you have found so far?
I currently have to build a pipeline that has like 6 approval steps in sequence which results in super bad UX/DX on circleci’s UI.
