Arguments

component (required)

Atmos terraform component.

Flags

--stack (alias -s) (required)

Atmos stack.

--dry-run (optional)

Dry run.

atmos terraform generate varfile <component> -s <stack> --dry-run=true

--process-templates (optional)

Enable/disable Go template processing in Atmos stack manifests when executing terraform commands.

If the flag is not passed, template processing is enabled by default.

atmos terraform generate varfile <component> -s <stack> --process-templates=false

--process-functions (optional)

Enable/disable YAML functions processing in Atmos stack manifests
when executing terraform commands.

If the flag is not passed, YAML function processing is enabled by default.

atmos terraform generate varfile <component> -s <stack> --process-functions=false

--skip (optional)

Skip processing a specific Atmos YAML function in Atmos stacks manifests when executing terraform commands.

To specify more than one function, use multiple --skip flags, or separate the functions with a comma.

atmos terraform generate varfile <component> -s <stack> --skip=eval --skip=include
atmos terraform generate varfile <component> -s <stack> --skip=terraform.output,include

--with-secrets (optional)

Write resolved secret values into the generated varfile. Disabled by default so plaintext secrets never hit disk.

By default, any variable whose value contains a secret is omitted from the generated varfile (Atmos warns you when this happens). Pass --with-secrets only when you deliberately need a complete varfile containing the decrypted values (for example, to hand it off to another tool) — and treat the resulting file as sensitive.

Can also be set via the ATMOS_WITH_SECRETS environment variable.

atmos terraform generate varfile <component> -s <stack> --with-secrets
