Terraform and AWS CLI Docker image

Overview

The goal is to create a lightweight container image to deploy infrastructure as code (IaC) to the AWS cloud. The container can be used for interactive development, CI/CD deployments, or as a base image to extend as needed. It is based on the HashiCorp Terraform container with the addition of python3 and the AWS CLI.

What's inside?

• AWS CLI
• Terraform CLI
• Python 3

Supported versions

Actively supported versions can be found in the supported_versions.yaml. By default, the latest 3x versions of Terraform and AWS CLI will be periodically packaged and released

The following image tag strategy is leveraged for the container builds:

• derekstraka/terraform-aws:latest - build from main
  • Included CLI versions are the newest in the supported_versions.yaml file.
• derekstraka/terraform-aws:vR.S.T_terraform-UU.VV.WW_awscli-XX.YY.ZZ - build from releases
  • vR.S.T is the release tag
  • terraform-UU.VV.WWW is the included Terraform CLI version
  • awscli-XX.YY.ZZ is the included AWS CLI version

Usage

Launch the CLI

Simply launch the container and use the CLI as you would on any other platform, for instance using the latest image:

docker run -i -v $PWD:/data -w /data -t derekstraka/terraform-aws:latest /bin/bash

Building an image

You can build the image locally directly from the Dockerfile using the TERRAFORM_VERSION and AWS_CLI_VERSION build arguments to specificy the desired version of Terrafrom and AWS command line

docker build --build-arg TERRAFORM_VERSION=1.5.1 --build-arg AWS_CLI_VERSION=1.27.161 .
