Terraform Variable File

You can specify variable files to your Terraform run either from a configmap or a secret. Here is an example:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: var-file-data
data:
  data.tfvars: |-
    length = 50
---
apiVersion: run.terraform-operator.io/v1alpha1
kind: Terraform
metadata:
  name: terraform-var-files
spec:
  terraformVersion: 1.0.2

  module:
    source: IbraheemAlSaady/test/module
    version: 0.0.2

  variableFiles:
    - key: data-config
      valueFrom:
        configMap:
          name: var-file-data

In the example above, we created a configmap with a key called data.tfvars (extension in the key must either be .tfvars or .tf). In the Terraform object spec.variableFiles, we can configure the variable files to be used in the run.

The files in the configmap will be mounted in the Terraform job.
