The next generation of Infrastructure-as-Code. Describe high-level constructs; ship Terraform you can own.

pltf turns concise YAML into ready-to-run Terraform for AWS, GCP, and Azure. You model two things:

  • Environment: cloud, account/project, region, shared modules (VPC, DNS, EKS/GKE/AKS, IAM).
  • Service: an app’s resources (databases, queues, buckets, roles, charts) wired into an Environment.

The CLI validates your specs, renders providers/backends/locals/remote state, and can run terraform plan/apply end-to-end. Because the output is plain Terraform, you keep portability—extend it or take it with you.

Status: active development; review generated Terraform before applying to production.

Why teams use pltf

  • Faster IaC: generate consistent Terraform from YAML instead of hand-rolling cloud glue.
  • Cloud agnostic outputs: state backends s3|gcs|azurerm, provider wiring, and locals are emitted for you.
  • Module catalog + custom modules: ship with AWS modules and accept your own module.yaml definitions.
  • Safe automation: pltf terraform plan/apply/destroy/output/graph re-renders code every run to keep drift in check.
  • Validation & lint: structural checks catch missing refs, bad wiring, and secrets placement early.

Grounded example

Use the repo samples as a blueprint:

  • example/env.yaml defines an AWS environment (example-aws) with prod account/region, base domain, EKS, nodegroups, VPC/DNS.
  • example/service.yaml defines a service (payments-api) that binds to that environment, adds Postgres, S3, SNS/SQS, and IAM roles, and shows how to pass variables/secrets and link modules.

Typical workflow

  1. Create or edit your environment and service specs.
  2. Validate and preview wiring:
  3. pltf validate -f example/env.yaml
  4. pltf preview -f example/service.yaml --env prod
  5. Generate or run Terraform:
  6. pltf terraform plan -f example/service.yaml --env prod
  7. pltf terraform apply -f example/service.yaml --env prod
  8. Inspect outputs and graphs:
  9. pltf terraform output -f example/service.yaml --env prod
  10. pltf terraform graph -f example/service.yaml --env prod | dot -Tpng > graph.png
