This might just replace Terragrunt! Curious to see how/if the staged planning/applying will work outside of Terraform cloud though... And further to that, the other big annoyance for us is the inability to dynamically define remote state blocks in Terraform
Dynamically defining remote state blocks, do you mean setting up a backend Dynamically or just randomly creating a workspace key within an existing backend?
@@azure-terraformer meaning the inability to use dynamic values (as in variables) in the remote_state blocks. I know you can generate remote state with cli args etc but this is kind of annoying. We like Terragrunt for this reason though I'm sure we could live without that particular feature if Terraform stacks actually becomes a thing. I'm encouraged to read that they intend to roll this out to the community edition!
Seems like they are integrating features from terragrunt or terraspace? One thing Hashicorp should prioritize is speed. One plan is already so slow, let alone many layers of plans all together!
They are a bit at the mercy of the provider. Each resource / data source is at least one round trip to the providers underlying cloud api. Those apis are often throttled as well.
Excellent commentary!
Glad you liked it!

I am also anxious to see this in the CLI!

Did they make any announcements on the community edition recently?
