How Toyota scaled cloud onboarding with HCP Terraform and AFT
Learn why more groups inside Toyota are requesting to use one team’s IDP (TORO) and HCP Terraform after they simplified and massively accelerated the multi-account vending workflow on AWS.
As Toyota started scaling up their cloud usage and cloud-based software products, they encountered two bottlenecks:
Manual provisioning processes (click-ops)
Security requirements
To break through these bottlenecks, they created the TORO internal developer platform (stands for TOyota Reliability Observatory/Orchestration).
»Impact
As little as 2 hours to create AWS accounts, with 2 business days being the most common timeframe. (previously up to 2 months)
96% of security settings in AWS accounts are standardized and automatically set up during account creation.
Using AWS Account Factory for Terraform (AFT), they can customize and create AWS accounts via GitOps using around 20 lines of code.
Multi-account requests made possible with AFT
Many more groups inside Toyota are now requesting to use TORO and HCP Terraform, and with the HCP Terraform private registry feature, they can share all of their secure infrastructure modules.
