Overview of Cloud Resource Plans
What are cloud resource plans?
Cloud Resource Plans act as templates for Terraform modules, allowing platform engineers to define and control how cloud resources are provisioned. These plans provide guardrails for administrators to shape the options and configurations available to developers when adding cloud resources to their applications.
How do cloud resource plans fit in with the rest of Wayfinder?
Once developers provision their self-service clusters, they can create and deploy applications. During application creation, developers have the option to add cloud resources like databases. The Terraform modules used to provision these services are preconfigured by platform engineers and made available within specific workspaces.
Platform engineers determine which input values developers can override and which output values are available for use in their applications.
