Does it support backend configuration?

Yes, it automatically handles backend initialization and configuration loading via a dedicated config-loader script, ensuring state is stored correctly.

What happens if a state lock is encountered?

The handler identifies state lock patterns, extracts the lock ID and timestamp, and provides instructions for waiting or safely force-unlocking the state.

Which Terraform commands are supported by this skill?

This skill supports the primary Terraform lifecycle commands: init, validate, plan, apply, and destroy, all abstracted through a standardized interface.

How does it handle production safety?

The skill enforces critical safety rules, requiring explicit confirmation before applying changes to production environments and automatically backing up state before destructive operations.

Deployment & DevOps

Centralizes and automates Terraform infrastructure-as-code operations including initialization, validation, and environment-aware deployments.

About

The Terraform IaC Handler provides a standardized interface for managing infrastructure-as-code within the Fractary DevOps ecosystem. It abstracts complex Terraform CLI commands into a streamlined workflow that handles backend configuration, state management, and environment-specific variable files for both test and production environments. By enforcing critical safety rules like state locking and mandatory production confirmations, it ensures that infrastructure changes are predictable, documented, and safe from common manual errors.
