Terraform provides more flexible controls with project-owned variable sets
- HCP Terraform and Terraform Enterprise introduce project-owned variable sets to provide more flexible control and simplify configuration management.
- Project-owned variable sets allow users to define variables once and reuse them across multiple workspaces within a project.
- Previously, variable sets could only be managed at the organization level or workspace level, limiting flexibility.
- This new feature enables variable sets to be owned at the project level, offering custom permission settings.
- Teams gain self-service control over their variable sets, reducing dependencies and enhancing access control.
- Challenges solved by project-owned variable sets include granular permission control and variable reuse within projects.
- Previously, managing variable sets with project-level permission was not possible, posing security and operational challenges.
- Workarounds like requesting platform teams to create variable sets or duplicating variables across workspaces were cumbersome.
- Project-owned variable sets offer three scopes: Global, Project-specific, and Workspace-specific.
- Benefits of project-owned variable sets include simplified management, granular control, and increased operational efficiency.
