Terraspace

Abstract

1. Introduction

terraspace new project infra --plugin aws --examples cd infra terraspace up demo terraspace down demo

The default plugin is aws. Major cloud providers are supported: aws, azurerm, google.

2. Objective

Terraspace: The Terraform Framework

This project demonstrates how Ruby, Terraform, AWS can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.

3. Key Features / Modules

• Generators: Built-in generators to quickly create the starter module. Focus on code instead of boilerplate structure.
• Secrets Support: Terraspace has built-in secrets support for AWS Secrets Manager, AWS SSM Parameter Store, Azure Key Vault, Google Secrets Manager. Easily set variables from Cloud secrets providers.
• Configurable CLI: Configurable CLI Hooks and CLI Args allow you to adjust the underlying terraform command.
• Testing: A testing framework that allows you to create test harnesses, deploy real-resources, and have higher confidence that your code works.
• Terraform Cloud and Terraform Enterprise Support: TFC and TFE are both supported. Terraspace adds additional conveniences to make working with Terraform Cloud Workspaces easier.

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Why does this problem need a blockchain or cloud-native design?
2. Explain the smart contract / infrastructure components and how they interact.
3. How are gas costs or cloud costs kept under control?
4. How is the system secured (keys, IAM, access control)?
5. How would the solution scale to many more users?
