This Github Action is used to run Terraform apply for a single, Atmos-supported component with a saved planfile in S3 and DynamoDB.

Before running this action, first create and store a planfile with the companion action, github-action-atmos-terraform-plan.

This GitHub Action requires AWS access for two different purposes. This action will attempt to first pull a Terraform planfile from a S3 Bucket with metadata in a DynamoDB table with one role. Then the action will run terraform apply against that component with another role. We recommend configuring OpenID Connect with AWS to allow GitHub to assume roles in AWS and then deploying both a Terraform Apply role and a Terraform State role. For Cloud Posse documentation on setting up GitHub OIDC, see our github-oidc-provider component.

In order to retrieve Terraform Plan Files (not to be confused with Terraform State files, e.g. tfstate), we configure an S3 Bucket to store plan files and a DynamoDB table to track plan metadata. Both need to be deployed before running this action. For more on setting up those components, see the gitops component. This action will then use the github-action-terraform-plan-storage action to update these resources.

The action expects the atmos gitops configuration file to be present in the repository in ./.github/config/atmos-gitops.yaml. The config should have the following structure:

  atmos-version: 1.45.3
  atmos-config-path: ./rootfs/usr/local/etc/atmos/
  terraform-state-bucket: cptest-core-ue2-auto-gitops
  terraform-state-table: cptest-core-ue2-auto-gitops
  terraform-state-role: arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxxxxxx:role/cptest-core-ue2-auto-gitops-gha
  terraform-plan-role: arn:aws:iam::yyyyyyyyyyyy:role/cptest-core-gbl-identity-gitops
  terraform-apply-role: arn:aws:iam::yyyyyyyyyyyy:role/cptest-core-gbl-identity-gitops
  terraform-version: 1.5.2
  aws-region: us-east-2
  enable-infracost: false
  sort-by: .stack_slug
  group-by: .stack_slug | split("-") | [.[0], .[2]] | join("-")

      steps:
        - name: Terraform Apply
          uses: cloudposse/github-action-atmos-terraform-apply@v2
          with:
            component: "foobar"
            stack: "plat-ue2-sandbox"

1. v2 drops the component-path variable and instead fetches if directly from the atmos.yaml file automatically. Simply remove the component-path argument from your invocations of the cloudposse/github-action-atmos-terraform-apply action.
2. v2 moves most of the inputs to the Atmos GitOps config path ./.github/config/atmos-gitops.yaml. Simply create this file, transfer your settings to it, then remove the corresponding arguments from your invocations of the cloudposse/github-action-atmos-terraform-apply action. | name | |--------------------------| | atmos-version | | atmos-config-path | | terraform-state-bucket | | terraform-state-table | | terraform-state-role | | terraform-plan-role | | terraform-apply-role | | terraform-version | | aws-region | | enable-infracost |

If you want the same behavior in v2 as in v1 you should create config ./.github/config/atmos-gitops.yaml with the same variables as in v1 inputs.

  - name: Terraform apply
    uses: cloudposse/github-action-atmos-terraform-apply@v2
    with:
      atmos-gitops-config-path: ./.github/config/atmos-gitops.yaml
      component: "foobar"
      stack: "plat-ue2-sandbox"

Which would produce the same behavior as in v1, doing this:

  - name: Terraform apply
    uses: cloudposse/github-action-atmos-terraform-apply@v1
    with:
      component: "foobar"
      stack: "plat-ue2-sandbox"
      component-path: "components/terraform/s3-bucket"
      terraform-apply-role: "arn:aws:iam::111111111111:role/acme-core-gbl-identity-gitops"
      terraform-state-bucket: "acme-core-ue2-auto-gitops"
      terraform-state-role: "arn:aws:iam::999999999999:role/acme-core-ue2-auto-gitops-gha"
      terraform-state-table: "acme-core-ue2-auto-gitops"
      aws-region: "us-east-2"
