Today, AWS announces AWS Service Catalog support for Terraform open source. With this launch, customers using Terraform open source can provide self-service provisioning with governance to their teams. Customers can now use Service Catalog as the single tool to organize, govern, and distribute their Terraform configurations within AWS at scale. You can access Service Catalog key features, including cataloging of standardized and pre-approved infrastructure-as-code templates, access control, cloud resources provisioning with least privilege access, versioning, sharing to thousands of AWS accounts, and tagging. End users such as engineers, database administrators, and data scientists simply see the list of products and versions they have access to, and can deploy them in a single action.
To get started, use the AWS-provided Terraform Reference Engine on GitHub that configures the code and infrastructure required for the Terraform open source engine to work with AWS Service Catalog. This one-time setup takes just minutes. After that, you can start using Service Catalog to create and govern Terraform open source products, and share them with your end users across all your accounts.
This new feature is available via the AWS Service Catalog console in all AWS Regions where AWS Service Catalog is available, including AWS GovCloud (US) and China (Beijing, operated by Sinnet), and China (Ningxia, operated by NWCD).
