Workspaces¶

The Workspace resource¶

A Workspace is where Terraform runs are performed for a specific configuration, and where the resulting stat file(s) are stored.

Workspaces belong to environments and can have variables configured to provide inputs to the configuration, authenticate providers etc.

Key path

Description

type* (string)

Available values: workspaces

id (string)

attributes.auto-apply (boolean)

Indicates whether terraform apply should automatically run when terraform plan ends without error. Default false.

attributes.created-at (string)

The resource creation timestamp.

attributes.lock-reason (string)

The reason (if any) that the workspace has been locked.

attributes.locked (boolean)

Indicates whether the workspace is locked for operations. The lock-reason attribute carries the explanation.

This semaphore is acquired and released by terraform apply and can also manage it with Lock/Unlock Workspace.

Default: false

attributes.name* (string)

Workspace name which must be unique within the environment.

Comprises letters, numbers, -, and _ only.

attributes.operations (boolean)

Indicates whether the workspace is used for remote execution.

When false workspace is only used to store state.

Default true.

attributes.outputs (array)

The list of output values, associated with the current-state-version

attributes.permissions (object)

attributes.resources (array)

The list of provisioned resources, associated with the current-state-version

attributes.tags (array)

List of key/value pairs.

Tags are used for workspaces (and other API resources) organization into logical groups.

The other use-case for tags is to attach to Scalr resources some meta information, that other software may use in their integrations with Scalr.

attributes.terraform-version (string)

The version of Terraform to use for this workspace. Upon creating a workspace, the latest version is selected unless otherwise specified.

attributes.vcs-repo.branch (string)

The main branch of your repository.

attributes.vcs-repo.identifier* (string)

A reference to your VCS repository.

For GitHub, GitHub Enterprise and GitLab the format is <org>/<repo>. Azure DevOps Services provider has the format <org>/<project>/<repo>.

attributes.working-directory (string)

A relative path where Terraform commands will execute in.

relationships.configuration-version (object)

The latest uploaded configuration version.

relationships.configuration-version.data.type* (string)

Available values: configuration-versions

relationships.configuration-version.data.id* (string)

relationships.created-by (object)

The user, who has triggered the run.

relationships.created-by.data.type* (string)

Available values: users

relationships.created-by.data.id* (string)

relationships.current-run (object)

Available values: configuration-versions

relationships.latest-configuration-version.data.id* (string)

relationships.latest-run (object)

Latest finished Run.

relationships.latest-run.data.type* (string)

Available values: runs

relationships.latest-run.data.id* (string)

relationships.locked-by.data.type* (string)

Available values: vcs-providers

relationships.vcs-provider.data.id* (string)

links.self (string)

Create a Workspace¶

POST /api/iacp/v3/workspaces¶

Workspaces represent a unit of infrastructure managed by terraform.

To create a workspace you must pass name attribute and environment relationship.

A workspace might be linked to a VCS repository, so that any git push will trigger a terraform Run in the workspace.

Request body:

Key path	Description
data.type* (string) Available values: `workspaces`
data.id (string)
data.attributes.auto-apply (boolean)	Indicates whether `terraform apply` should automatically run when terraform plan ends without error. Default `false`.
data.attributes.name* (string)	Workspace name which must be unique within the environment. Comprises letters, numbers, `-`, and `_` only.
data.attributes.operations (boolean)	Indicates whether the workspace is used for remote execution. When `false` workspace is only used to store state. Default `true`.
data.attributes.tags (array)	List of key/value pairs. Tags are used for workspaces (and other API resources) organization into logical groups. The other use-case for tags is to attach to Scalr resources some meta information, that other software may use in their integrations with Scalr.
data.attributes.terraform-version (string)	The version of Terraform to use for this workspace. Upon creating a workspace, the latest version is selected unless otherwise specified.
data.attributes.vcs-repo.branch (string)	The main branch of your repository.
data.attributes.vcs-repo.identifier* (string)	A reference to your VCS repository. For GitHub, GitHub Enterprise and GitLab the format is `<org>/<repo>`. Azure DevOps Services provider has the format `<org>/<project>/<repo>`.
data.attributes.working-directory (string)	A relative path where Terraform commands will execute in.
