Terraform Cloud Operator for Kubernetes adds more Day 2 operations. Users can now streamline workspace management and enhance self-service capabilities.
In November 2023, we announced the general availability of the Terraform Cloud Operator for Kubernetes. The Terraform Cloud Operator streamlines infrastructure management, allowing platform teams to offer a Kubernetes-native experience for their users while standardizing Terraform workflows. It simplifies the management of Terraform Cloud workspaces and agent pools, ensuring efficiency and consistency across operations. Today we are excited to announce the general availability of project support in the latest version of the Terraform Cloud Operator, version 2.2.
Previously, workspace creation using the operator was limited to the default project in Terraform Cloud. Users needed elevated user permissions, which led to security risks from overly broad access and also hindered self-managed workspaces due to frequent central team dependency. Now with project support, users can specify the project where a workspace will be created. This enhances self-service by allowing users to independently create and manage workspaces, and execute runs within the context of their assigned project.
The project name can now be set in the Workspace resource (example code).
Also, project administrators can use the new Project
custom resource to create and manage projects and team access in the organization:
The new Project custom resource manages Terraform Cloud projects and team access (example code).
