terraform-random-pet

Create a random pet in HashiCorp Terraform.

This configuration uses the terraform_remote_state datasource and native functions in Terraform to output a randomized pet name, of a length determined by a separate Terraform Cloud workspace configured to use https://github.com/vaficionado/terraform-random-integer as its source. The pet names will also be separated by a randomly generated separator string determined by a separate Terraform Cloud workspace using https://github.com/vaficionado/terraform-random-separator as its source.

To adjust the length of the integer, adjust the min and max values in https://github.com/vaficionado/terraform-random-integer/blob/master/main.tf

To adjust the separator configuration (length, character types, etc) adjust the special, upper, lower, and number values in https://github.com/vaficionado/terraform-random-separator/blob/master/main.tf

The function returns a single output of pet and requires three workspace variables to be configured as follows:

• organization : the name of the Terraform Cloud organization where the workspaces are configured
• separator-workspace : the name of the Terraform Cloud workspace where the separator output can be obtained (typically linked to https://github.com/vaficionado/terraform-random-separator)
• length-workspace : the name of the Terraform Cloud workspace where the integer output can be obtained (typically linked to https://github.com/vaficionado/terraform-random-integer)
