Environments

The Environment resource

Environment’s are collections of related workspaces that correspond to functional areas, SDLC stages, projects or any grouping that is required.

An account can have multiple environments.

Workspaces within an environment are where Terraform configurations are run to deploy infrastructure, and where state files are stored.

An Environment can have set of policy groups assigned that are applied to all workspaces in the environment. The Environment can also have variables, credentials, registry modules, and VCS providers that are available to every workspace.
