Official Terraform Provider
Provider Terraform is a Crossplane provider that
can run Terraform code and enables defining new Crossplane Composite Resources (XRs)
that are composed of a mix of 'native' Crossplane managed resources and your
existing Terraform modules.
The Terraform provider adds support for a Workspace managed resource that
represents a Terraform workspace. The configuration of each workspace may be
either fetched from a remote source (e.g. git), or simply specified inline.

Getting Started
Follow the quick start guide here.
You can find a detailed API reference for all the managed resources with examples in the Upbound Marketplace.
Further Configuration
You can find more information about configuring the provider further here.
Polling Interval
The default polling interval has been updated to 10 minutes from 1 minute.
This affects how often the provider will run terraform plan on existing
Workspaces to determine if there are any resources out of sync and whether
terraform apply needs to be re-executed to recover the desired state.
A 1 minute polling interval is often too short when the time required for
running terrform init, terraform plan and terraform apply is taken
into account. Workspaces with large numbers of resources can take longer
than 1 minute to run terraform plan. Changes to the Workspace object
spec will still be reconciled immediately. The poll interval is
configurable using ControllerConfig.
Known limitations:
- You must either use remote state or ensure the provider container's
/tf
directory is not lost. provider-terraform does not persist state;
consider using the Kubernetes remote state backend.
- If the module takes longer than the value of
--timeout (default is 20m) to apply the
underlying terraform process will be killed. You will potentially lose state
and leak resources. The workspace lock will also likely be left in place and need to be manually removed
before the Workspace can be reconciled again.
- The provider won't emit an event until after it has successfully applied the
Terraform module, which can take a long time.
- Setting
--max-reconcile-rate to a value greater than 1 will potentially cause the provider
to use up to the same number of CPUs. Add a resources section to the ControllerConfig to restrict
CPU usage as needed.
