admin-stack

This component is responsible for creating an administrative stack and its corresponding child stacks in the Spacelift organization.

The component uses a series of context_filters to select atmos component instances to manage as child stacks.

Usage

Stack Level: Global

The following are example snippets of how to use this component. For more on Spacelift admin stack usage, see the Spacelift README

First define the default configuration for any admin stack:

# stacks/catalog/spacelift/admin-stack.yaml
components:
  terraform:
    admin-stack/default:
      metadata:
        type: abstract
        component: spacelift/admin-stack
      settings:
        spacelift:
          administrative: true
          autodeploy: true
          before_apply:
            - spacelift-configure-paths
          before_init:
            - spacelift-configure-paths
            - spacelift-write-vars
            - spacelift-tf-workspace
          before_plan:
            - spacelift-configure-paths
          drift_detection_enabled: true
          drift_detection_reconcile: true
          drift_detection_schedule:
            - 0 4 * * *
          manage_state: false
          policies: {}
      vars:
        # Organization specific configuration
        branch: main
        repository: infrastructure
        worker_pool_name: "acme-core-ue1-auto-spacelift-worker-pool"
        runner_image: 111111111111.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/infrastructure:latest
        spacelift_spaces_stage_name: "root"
        # These values need to be manually updated as external configuration changes
        # This should match the version set in the Dockerfile and be updated when the version changes.
        terraform_version: "1.3.6"
        # Common configuration
        administrative: true # Whether this stack can manage other stacks
        component_root: components/terraform

Then define the root-admin stack:

# stacks/orgs/acme/spacelift.yaml
import:
  - mixins/region/global-region
  - orgs/acme/_defaults
  - catalog/terraform/spacelift/admin-stack
  - catalog/terraform/spacelift/spaces

# These intentionally overwrite the default values
vars:
  tenant: root
  environment: gbl
  stage: spacelift

components:
  terraform:
    # This admin stack creates other "admin" stacks
    admin-stack:
      metadata:
        component: spacelift/admin-stack
        inherits:
          - admin-stack/default
      settings:
        spacelift:
          root_administrative: true
          labels:
            - root-admin
            - admin
      vars:
        enabled: true
        root_admin_stack: true # This stack will be created in the root space and will create all the other admin stacks as children.
        context_filters: # context_filters determine which child stacks to manage with this admin stack
          administrative: true # This stack is managing all the other admin stacks
          root_administrative: false # We don't want this stack to also find itself in the config and add itself a second time
        labels:
          - admin
        # attachments only on the root stack
        root_stack_policy_attachments:
          - TRIGGER Global administrator
        # this creates policies for the children (admin) stacks
        child_policy_attachments:
          - TRIGGER Global administrator

Finally, define any tenant-specific stacks:

# stacks/orgs/acme/core/spacelift.yaml
import:
  - mixins/region/global-region
  - orgs/acme/core/_defaults
  - catalog/terraform/spacelift/admin-stack

vars:
  tenant: core
  environment: gbl
  stage: spacelift

components:
  terraform:
    admin-stack:
      metadata:
        component: spacelift/admin-stack
        inherits:
          - admin-stack/default
      settings:
        spacelift:
          labels: # Additional labels for this stack
            - admin-stack-name:core
      vars:
        enabled: true
        context_filters:
          tenants: ["core"]
        labels: # Additional labels added to all children
          - admin-stack-name:core # will be used to automatically create the `managed-by:stack-name` label
        child_policy_attachments:
          - TRIGGER Dependencies

additional_tag_map (map(string)) optional

Additional key-value pairs to add to each map in tags_as_list_of_maps. Not added to tags or id.

Required: No

Default value: { }

attributes (list(string)) optional

ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. workers or cluster) to add to id,
in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the
end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the delimiter
and treated as a single ID element.

Required: No

Default value: [ ]

context (any) optional

Single object for setting entire context at once.
See description of individual variables for details.
Leave string and numeric variables as null to use default value.
Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object,
except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.

Required: No

Default value:

{
  "additional_tag_map": {},
  "attributes": [],
  "delimiter": null,
  "descriptor_formats": {},
  "enabled": true,

Defaults to - (hyphen). Set to "" to use no delimiter at all.

Required: No

Default value: null

descriptor_formats (any) optional

Describe additional descriptors to be output in the descriptors output map.
Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form
\{<br/> format = string<br/> labels = list(string)<br/> \}
(Type is any so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.)
format is a Terraform format string to be passed to the format() function.
labels is a list of labels, in order, to pass to format() function.
Label values will be normalized before being passed to format() so they will be
identical to how they appear in id.
Default is {} (descriptors output will be empty).

Required: No

Default value: { }

enabled (bool) optional

Set to false to prevent the module from creating any resources
Required: No

Default value: null

environment (string) optional

Controls the letter case of the tags keys (label names) for tags generated by this module.
Does not affect keys of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper.

Required: No

Default value: null

label_order (list(string)) optional

The order in which the labels (ID elements) appear in the id.

Required: No

Default value: null

label_value_case (string) optional

Controls the letter case of ID elements (labels) as included in id,
set as tag values, and output by this module individually.
Does not affect values of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper and none (no transformation).
Set this to title and set delimiter to "" to yield Pascal Case IDs.
Default value: lower.

Required: No

Default value: null

labels_as_tags (set(string)) optional

Set of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the tags output.
Default is to include all labels.
Tags with empty values will not be included in the tags output.
Set to [] to suppress all generated tags.
Notes:
The value of the name tag, if included, will be the id, not the name.
Unlike other null-label inputs, the initial setting of labels_as_tags cannot be
changed in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored.
