I'm really curious what this will look like - is it going to run terraform for us? Hook into Terraform Cloud / Atlantis?
Hi. Can I flip the question around and ask how you would like this to work?
We are indeed looking at the best way to make it work, but I don't want to take a stance just yet. Would love to get some suggestions!
@rafavallina There are going to be different perspectives, but just weighing in for my use case. I'd prefer it didn't depend on another tool, so Proton running the Terraform within AWS, just as though it had been executed by Code Build but with better integration. Maybe with an option to approve the tf plan before executing.
Very excited for Proton btw, thanks!
A couple of random thoughts:
@mwarkentin +1 on everything you wrote. Also wanted to mention env0 as a rising player in this domain, they do most of the things you mentioned.
Hi all! Thanks @raymyers @mwarkentin @shlomimatichin for the input. We're looking into Terraform Cloud as our first approach at this point - not a final decision just yet. To the question about state file management: no plans for Proton to provide it at this point (TF Cloud would take care of that). Regarding access to the .tf files: I don't have a fast answer, but there should be a way for administrators to see the template that was executed - Proton is working with those services, but not replacing them, so we don't want to make using them more difficult. With CloudFormation, this can be done by going to the corresponding stack and seeing the template. Not sure how we can do it in Terraform, but we'd have to at least make sure it's possible to see.
I believe Terraform Cloud has a state viewing functionality but I'm not sure if that would be enough on its own.
Is there any update on the status of Proton integration with Terraform? Interest from Elsevier to look into using Proton as an enterprise solution.
Sorry for the delay in answering @oshah97 - Are you asking for an update on the status of integrating with Terraform? Nothing to share on this front for now, still working on it.
@rafavallina Okay, thank you for getting back to me!
Terraform Cloud.... Would it be possible to integrate with Terraform Enterprise? Lots of larger users/customers will not be able to use Terraform Cloud, but do use Terraform Enterprise.
Thank you @pgdad! Still not decided, but we're looking at all options. Do you have any specific examples (that can be mentioned) for customers for Terraform Enterprise? Any data point helps!
I work for a 'large regulated industry' company, and as such can't divulge any real details.
It should be sufficient to mention that if it makes sense to integrate proton with terraform cloud, then it makes sense to integrate with terraform enterprise. No serious player in the 'large regulated industry' will ever use terraform cloud. They can't.
I would be more than happy to have a real discussion on this (and other topics). If you want to, let me know and I'll have our TAM setup a meeting.

Anyone tried using the AWS CloudFormer tool to port terraform created objects for Proton? There might be a stop gap where we could keep source terraform, terraform apply to an account, use cloudformer to export cloud formation templates from the terraform generated objects. It's not perfect, and would require hand inspection but source would be terraform.
Hello everyone, this request has a bunch of notes and +1s, which is very exciting. Thanks! I'm actually in the lookout for customers using Terraform Open Source, to learn more about how it works today and ask questions about what Proton can do. If anyone in this thread is interest, please tell me and we can figure out a way to connect! Thanks :)

Hi @rafavallina, Would love to get in contact with you to talk about this! Our team has been looking forward to using proton since it was announced :)

I'm happy to join the discussion, especially around CI/CD of terraform maintaned infra and how Proton is positioning itself there. TBH I'm looking at Proton, but I haven't found (yet?) any examples of e.g. serverless workflows for CI/CD of multi-service applications. For example, we have multiple repositories with repo-per-service and one infra repository that manages via CDK the shared infrastructure like DynamoDB tables etc. - I'm curious if Proton could help in this kind of workflow.
Hi @warden Thanks! I'd be happy to talk - I'm not sure I fully understand your setup, so it'd be helpful for me to figure it out
Hi @rafavallina! We are heavy users of Terraform Open Source and are currently looking into AWS Proton for our future services deployments. This would be a huge benefit for our teams. Please feel free to get in touch via andre.hilsendeger@tink.com.
Thanks @ahilsend! I'll drop you an email and we can go from there
@rafavallina we are running 40 different software teams and evaluating proton to help drive support for all the teams from a core release & infrastructure team. Can be reached on adi.chikara@triconinfotech.com
Hi Rafa,
We are heavily interested in AWS Proton since its announcement. All our IaC is heavily Terraform based and we are keen upcoming integration between Proton and TF. I can be reached at matthew.marshall@ao.com
@rafavallina how about having a roundtable of people interested (maybe in a second stage) so that we all know where Proton will be heading? :-) (ps. you can reach me at radek.antoniuk@cloudfolks.io)
Much smaller team, but also interested in what Terraform + Proton could/would look like: rsimpson@uship.com
This is exciting! Thanks so much everyone for the participation. @MPM3278, @RichiCoder1, @adi-ads I'll reach out to you on email. @warden I personally prefer a round of 1:1s, even if it takes longer, so we can discuss more in-depth - happy to talk now or as we get closer to it :)
Hi @rafavallina is there any estimation if it's going to be added to Proton roadmap?
Hi @yanivpaz Yes, we are actively working on this right now. I can't promise dates, but this is one of our top priorities.
Hi everyone! Wanted to provide an update on this issue as I know is of much interest to a lot of people. Although I still can't promise any dates, we are making good progress on a Terraform Open Source support mechanism.
Our current thinking is to rely on the customer's existing infrastructure pipeline. You will be able to create Proton templates using your HCL modules, and at the time of service creation or update Proton will render the template(s) and make a PR to a configuration repository, allowing your existing infrastructure pipeline to run Terraform plan/apply. The service templates can be made up of one or more Terraform Modules, so as a platform team you can break them down into individual components, but still provide a single template to developers. This reduces the need for developers to explore all individual modules, provides a way to ensure that they are used according to standards, and lets the platform team decide which versions of each individual module go into the template.
I'd love to get feedback and suggestions! Either here or in direct conversations. Feel free to chime in!
This is live on preview as of 11/24! We'd love to get feedback on the feature. There are a couple of items for which we will be looking for more input, so anyone in this thread that is interested please feel free to reply and we can schedule time to discuss. Thanks everyone for your patience!
I'm keeping the issue open until we hit GA
@rafavallina Thanks alot ! it will be nice to have SIG /virtual meeting on this feature
Here are some references in case you wanted to check out the preview release:
@yanivpaz Awesome! Do you happen to have an Account Management team that you work with and can help us get in touch? If not, I'd suggest sending me a DM on Twitter: twitter.com/rafavallina
Closing this as we shipped the feature in GA
Extend support on AWS Proton to enable defining and provisioning infrastructure using Hashicorp Terraform
