atmos terraform

Purpose

Use these subcommands to interact with Terraform and OpenTofu.

atmos terraform --help

Atmos Terraform/OpenTofu commands fall into two categories:

  • Single-Component: Run Terraform for one component at a time

  • Multi-Component (Filtered/Bulk): Run Terraform across multiple components using stack names, selectors, or change detection

Atmos supports all Terraform and OpenTofu commands and options described in Terraform CLI Overview and OpenTofu Basic CLI Features.

In addition, for the Single-Component commands, the component argument and stack flag are required to generate variables and backend config for the component in the stack.

Disambiguation

The term "Terraform" is used in this documentation to refer to generic concepts such as providers, modules, stacks, the HCL-based domain-specific language and its interpreter. Atmos works with OpenTofu.

Single-Component Commands Usage​

Use single-component commands when you want to execute Terraform operations on one component at a time, offering precise control over individual resources.

# Execute `terraform <command>` on a `component` in a `stack`
atmos terraform <command> <component> -s <stack> [options]
atmos terraform <command> <component> --stack <stack> [options]

Multi-Component Commands (Bulk Operations) Usage​

Use multi-component commands to run Terraform operations across multiple components simultaneously. You can target components by stack, selector, query, or change detection—often making this approach more efficient than using Atmos workflows for certain use cases.

# Execute `terraform <command>` on all components in the stack `prod`
atmos terraform <command> --stack prod

# Execute `terraform <command>` on components `component-1` and `component-2` in all stacks
atmos terraform <command> --components component-1,component-2

# Execute `terraform <command>` on components `component-1` and `component-2` in the stack `prod`
atmos terraform <command> --stack prod --components component-1,component-2

# Execute `terraform <command>` on all components in all stacks
atmos terraform <command> --all

# Execute `terraform <command>` on all components in the stack `prod`
atmos terraform <command> --all --stack prod

# Execute `terraform <command>` on all the directly affected components in all stacks in dependency order
# (if component dependencies are configured)
atmos terraform <command> --affected

# Execute `terraform <command>` on all the directly affected components in the `prod` stack in dependency order
# (if component dependencies are configured)
atmos terraform <command> --affected --stack prod

# Execute `terraform <command>` on all the directly affected components in all stacks in dependency order.
# For each directly affected component, detect the dependent components and process them in dependency order, recursively.
# Dependents are components that are indirectly affected, meaning that nothing in the current branch modifies their code
# or configs, but they are configured as dependencies of the components that are modified
atmos terraform <command> --affected --include-dependents

# Execute `terraform <command>` on all the directly affected components in the `prod` stack in dependency order.
# For each directly affected component, detect the dependent components and process them in dependency order, recursively.
atmos terraform <command> --affected --include-dependents --stack prod

# Execute `terraform <command>` on all components that have `vars.tags.team == "data"`, in all stacks
atmos terraform <command> --query '.vars.tags.team == "data"'

# Execute `terraform <command>` on all components that have `vars.tags.team == "eks"`, in the stack `prod`
atmos terraform <command> --query '.vars.tags.team == "eks"' --stack prod

# Execute `terraform <command>` on all components that have `settings.context.account_id == 12345`, in all stacks
atmos terraform <command> --query '.settings.context.account_id == 12345'

Additions and differences from native Terraform and OpenTofu​

  • before executing other terraform commands, Atmos runs terraform init

  • you can skip over atmos calling terraform init if you know your project is already in a good working state by using the --skip-init flag like so atmos terraform <command> <component> -s <stack> --skip-init

  • atmos terraform deploy command executes terraform apply -auto-approve (sets -auto-approve flag when running terraform apply)

  • atmos terraform deploy command supports --deploy-run-init=true|false flag to enable/disable running terraform init before executing the command

  • atmos terraform apply and atmos terraform deploy commands support --from-plan flag. If the flag is specified, the commands will use the planfile previously generated by atmos terraform plan command instead of generating a new planfile, e.g. atmos terraform apply <component> -s <stack> --from-plan. Note that in this case, the planfile name is in the format supported by Atmos and is saved to the component's folder

  • atmos terraform apply and atmos terraform deploy commands support --planfile flag to specify the path to a planfile. The --planfile flag should be used instead of the planfile argument in the native terraform apply <planfile> command. For example, you can execute the command atmos terraform plan <component> -s <stack> -out=<FILE>, which will save the generated plan to a file on disk, and then execute the command atmos terraform apply <component> -s <stack> --planfile <FILE> to apply the previously generated planfile

  • atmos terraform clean command deletes the .terraform folder, .terraform.lock.hcl lock file, and the previously generated planfile and varfile for the specified component and stack. Use the --skip-lock-file flag to skip deleting the .terraform.lock.hcl file. It deletes all local Terraform state files and directories (including terraform.tfstate.d used for local state) for a component in a stack. The --force flag bypasses the safety confirmation prompt and forces the deletion. Use with caution.

    warning

    The clean command performs destructive operations that can lead to permanent state loss, if not using remote backends. Always ensure you have remote state configured in your components before proceeding.

  • atmos terraform workspace command first runs terraform init -reconfigure, then terraform workspace select, and if the workspace was not created before, it then runs terraform workspace new

  • atmos terraform import command searches for region in the variables for the specified component and stack, and if it finds it, sets AWS_REGION=<region> ENV var before executing the command

  • atmos terraform generate backend command generates a backend config file for an Atmos component in a stack

  • atmos terraform generate backends command generates backend config files for all Atmos components in all stacks

  • atmos terraform generate varfile command generates a varfile for an Atmos component in a stack

  • atmos terraform generate varfiles command generates varfiles for all Atmos components in all stacks

  • atmos terraform plan-diff command compares two Terraform plans and shows the differences between them. It takes an original plan file (--orig) and optionally a new plan file (--new). If the new plan file is not provided, it will generate one by running terraform plan with the current configuration.

  • atmos terraform shell command configures an environment for an Atmos component in a stack and starts a new shell allowing executing all native terraform commands inside the shell

  • double-dash -- can be used to signify the end of the options for Atmos and the start of the additional native arguments and flags for the terraform commands. For example:

    • atmos terraform plan <component> -s <stack> -- -refresh=false
    • atmos terraform apply <component> -s <stack> -- -lock=false

when executing terraform commands.

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

atmos terraform plan <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 apply --all --dry-run
atmos terraform deploy --all --logs-level=Debug
--query (optional)

Execute the command on the components filtered by a YQ expression, in all stacks or in a specific stack.

NOTE: All Atmos sections are available in the expression, e.g. vars, settings, env, metadata, backend, etc.

atmos terraform plan --query '.vars.tags.team == "data"'
atmos terraform apply --query '.vars.tags.team == "eks"' --stack <stack>

atmos terraform deploy --affected --include-dependents
atmos terraform apply --affected --include-dependents --dry-run --logs-level=Debug
--include-dependents (optional; can only be used in conjunction with the --affected flag)

For each directly affected component, detect the dependent components and process them in dependency order, recursively. Dependents are components that are indirectly affected, meaning that nothing in the current branch modifies their code or configs, but they are configured as dependencies of the components that are modified.

atmos terraform plan --affected --include-dependents --logs-level=Debug
atmos terraform apply --affected --include-dependents --dry-run
atmos terraform apply --affected --include-dependents --stack prod --dry-run
--ref (optional; can only be used in conjunction with the --affected flag)

Git Reference with which to compare the current working branch.

If the reference is a branch, the command will compare the current working branch with the branch.

If the reference is a tag, the command will compare the current working branch with the tag.

If the flags are not provided, the ref will be set automatically to the head to the default branch (refs/remotes/origin/HEAD Git ref, usually the main branch)

--sha (optional; can only be used in conjunction with the --affected flag)

Git commit SHA with which to compare the current working branch

--ssh-key (optional; can only be used in conjunction with the --affected flag)

Path to PEM-encoded private key to clone private repos using SSH

--ssh-key-password (optional; can only be used in conjunction with the --affected flag)

Encryption password for the PEM-encoded private key if the key contains a password-encrypted PEM block

--repo-path (optional; can only be used in conjunction with the --affected flag)

Path to the already cloned target repository with which to compare the current branch. Conflicts with --ref, --sha, --ssh-key and --ssh-key-password

--clone-target-ref (optional; can only be used in conjunction with the --affected flag)

Clone the target reference with which to compare the current branch.

atmos terraform plan --affected --clone-target-ref=true
atmos terraform deploy --affected --clone-target-ref=true --dry-run
atmos terraform apply --affected --clone-target-ref=true --dry-run --logs-level=Debug

If the flag is not passed or set to false (default), the target reference will be checked out instead. This requires that the target reference is already cloned by Git, and the information about it exists in the .git directory

note

All native Terraform/OpenTofu flags are supported.

Multi-Component Commands (Bulk Operations) Examples​

Let's assume that we have the following Atmos stack manifests in the prod and nonprod stacks, with dependencies between the components:

`prod` and `nonprod` stacks

            component: eks/istio/istiod
          3:
            component: eks/istio/base

atmos terraform apply --affected --stack prod --include-dependents --dry-run

# Execute the `terraform apply` command on all the components affected by the changes
# in the current branch, in the `prod` stack.
# For each directly affected component, detect the dependent components and process
# them in dependency order, recursively.
# Dependents are components that are indirectly affected, meaning that nothing in the
# current branch modifies their code or configs, but they are configured as
# dependencies of the components that are modified.
