Terraform Automation API with Flask

This project is a simple Python API built using Flask that automates Terraform commands. The API allows you to run Terraform scripts to provision infrastructure and automatically destroy the created resources after 5 minutes. CORS is enabled for handling cross-origin requests.

Features

• Terraform Init, Plan, Apply: The API runs Terraform commands to initialize, plan, and apply infrastructure changes.
• Automatic Resource Destruction: After 5 minutes of provisioning, the resources are destroyed automatically.
• API Response: Returns the URL of a GCP bucket created using Terraform.
• Flask with CORS: API supports cross-origin requests using Flask-CORS.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Flask
• Flask-CORS
• Terraform installed and configured
• JSON support in Terraform for outputting the bucket URL

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/terraform-flask-api.git
   cd terraform-flask-api
   

2. Install required Python packages:
   

pip install flask flask-cors

3. Make sure Terraform is installed:
   Ensure that Terraform is installed on your machine and added to your system's PATH. You can install Terraform from Terraform's official site.

4. Terraform scripts:
   Place your Terraform files in the appropriate directory. Ensure the output is set to return the bucket_url as JSON:

output "bucket_url" {
  value = google_storage_bucket.your_bucket.website_endpoint
}

Usage

Run the Flask app:

• python app.py

After running the flask application you can click on try now button on WEB-UI of NoOps, it will trigger the flask API to create GCP Bucket using terraform. After terraform run successfully the flask API will return the Bucket URL to the Web_UI.
