How to use ansible-semaphore with terraform

[bioinfornatics]

Dear,

Thanks for your amazing tools you have done a nice works.

After read documentation and test the demo it is unclear to me how to use terraform and ansible together through semaphore.
Indeed most of time the inventory will be generated by terraform output which will be use by the ansible playbook to set vars and inventory.

Thanks for your highlights

Have a nice day

Hi @bioinfornatics,

Semaphore works only with Ansible. Please provide more details about your use case.

@bioinfornatics you can create an inventory script that Semephore can parse to gather a list of hosts.
I use Foreman to house my inventory and I have a Python inventory script to gather the hosts from Forman and present them to Semaphore, which is stored in my Ansible playbook as inventories/production/hosts.

The general Ansible documentation is here:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_dynamic_inventory.html

Here is a more specific example for Terraform on GCP:

Hope that helps.

@bioinfornatics Terraform available in Cloud and Premium version of Semaphore.
