• Terraform : use an "output" 

locals {

toto = format ("${var.ressource_name_pattern}-something", "cloudfront-edge")

}

output "toto" {

 value = local.toto

}

• Script: get output from terraform command

foobar = ${terraform output toto}

gitlab -> Terraform

Read environment variables in terraform variables, add TF_VAR_ in front of the variable name,

=> env / exported  "TF_VAR_toto" => variable.tf variable toto
















terraform -> gitlab/script/etc. VARIABLE (in project settings)

     For example : create an EKS cluster & then create a variable with the KUBECONFIG data in another project which has the code for the apps & trigger the deployment of those apps into newly created cluster using that variable.




    - terragrunt run-all apply --terragrunt-non-interactive -auto-approve tfplan-$CI_COMMIT_SHA
    - terraform output kubectl_config > kubectl_config
    - |
      curl -s -XPUT -H "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $GITLAB_API_RW_PRIVATE_TOKEN" $CI_API_V4_URL/groups/$GROUP_ID/variables/KUBECONFIG \
      --form "value=$(cat kubectl_config)" \
      --form "variable_type=file" \
      --form "protected=false" \
      --form "masked=false" \
