Figuring out the value of Terragrunt?

Terragrunt is the most popular open-source tool for deploying and managing Terraform modules at scale. The repositories used in this example are on GitHub as "iangrunt/multi-cloud-terragrunt-filesystem" and "gruntwork-io/terraform-fake-modules".

@iangrunt: thanks so much for making this video. I am having to learn terraform and terragrunt at the same time (for AWS deployment) so it is really useful and insightful to watch your video!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼☺️☺️

DRY is not optional, I treat Terraform file sets as templates and relaise env specific versions of them by rendering with values This fits perfectly with the "don't do it manually" philosophy as when a change is made CI/CD packages the set as templates and renders for the lowest env, then applies. The PR can include a plan execution and output to review when pulling in the new templates. I feel like it's an anti pattern to combine stuff like a VPC or account with stuff like an app deployment in the same execution runs. I want those lower level components to only get touched when needed, and be rock solid stable otherwise and not subject to a typo from a well meaning infra guy.

Hey Ian :), Just a message to salute your initiative to publish videos, maybe going live someday ?

I've had only few opportunities with customers, to use terragrunt, and I publishing video, presenting business cases:

I loved yearrs ago Yvgeni Brikman's well known presentation, yet, it's getting a bit old, and you know it: give us somesimplebusiness case to proove the value ofterragrunt very quickly toteams, will helpus much, to convince.

makes me smile you haveyetonly 30 (now 31) subscribers, you must have thousands soon, and the debate with terragrunt will be chilling :)
