SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manage Harness Infrastructure as Code Management (IaCM) by configuring Terraform workspaces, remote state with RBAC, drift detection with auto-remediation, and cost estimation before deployment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workspace and State Management: Configure Terraform workspaces with remote backends, state encryption, RBAC, and versioned state.
  • Drift Detection: Set up continuous drift scanning with remediation workflows to keep real resources aligned with Terraform state.
  • Change Approval Workflows: Implement risk-based approval tiers to gate infrastructure changes.
  • Cost Estimation: Run pre-deployment cost analysis using Infracost to forecast budget impact.

Quick Start

Configure your first Terraform workspace with a remote backend, enable drift detection, and define a basic change-approval workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Terraform drift detection and remediation?▼

Automate Terraform drift detection by configuring continuous drift scanning with remediation workflows, keeping real cloud resources aligned with Terraform remote state and auto-correcting configuration deviations.

Can I estimate cloud infrastructure costs before deploying Terraform workspaces?▼

Estimate infrastructure costs before deployment by running pre-deployment cost analysis using Infracost integration to forecast budget impact across multi-cloud development, staging, and production environments.

How do I set up Terraform workspaces with remote state and RBAC?▼

Configure Terraform workspaces with remote backends, state encryption, role-based access control, and versioned state to manage multi-cloud environments requiring secure remote state infrastructure.

What is the best way to gate infrastructure changes with approval workflows?▼

Gate infrastructure changes by implementing risk-based approval tiers within change-approval workflows, providing step-by-step pipelines for plan, approve, and apply phases to control Terraform deployments.

Does Harness Infrastructure as Code Management support multi-cloud environments?▼

Harness Infrastructure as Code Management supports multi-cloud environments requiring remote state, RBAC, drift remediation, and cost visibility across development, staging, and production deployments.

Why use Infracost for Terraform cost estimation in staging and production?▼

Use Infracost for Terraform cost estimation to forecast budget impact before deployment, providing cost visibility across development, staging, and production environments to control infrastructure spending.
