Pipelines Configurations

note

Pipelines configurations are currently undergoing a transition from YAML configurations to new HCL Configurations as Code. These new configurations will offer a richer configuration experience, but are not yet required for use. YAML configurations will continue to work as expected for the time being.

YAML configurations are read by Pipelines when HCL configurations are not present, and the Pipelines binary falls back to interpretting YAML configurations as if they were defined in the HCL configuration system in this scenario.

This means that if you have a .gruntwork/config.yml file in your repository, you can continue to use it as you have been, and Pipelines will continue to work as expected.

If you do introduce any HCL configurations into your .gruntwork directory or introduce a gruntwork.hcl file into a directory, Pipelines will begin to use the HCL configuration system instead of the YAML configuration system.

Pipelines behavior is primarily configured via a yaml file at .gruntwork/config.yml in your repository. Pipelines also reads .mise.toml at the root of the repository to determine what version of OpenTofu/Terraform and Terragrunt to use.

Example Mise Configuration​

./.mise.toml

[tools]
opentofu = "1.7.2"
terragrunt = "0.67.16"
awscli = "latest"

pipelines:
  consolidate-deleted: true

deploy-branch-name​

deploy-branch-namestringrequired

The branch in this repository where IaC changes will be applied. Typically this is the default branch.

Example
pipelines:
  deploy-branch-name: main

false
Example
pipelines:

      value: 10
    - name: CUSTOM_ENVVAR
      value: somedata"

Example
pipelines:
  is-access-control-repo: true

is-delegated-repo​

is-delegated-repobooleanoptional

Only set to true for infrastructure-live-access-control and enterprise delegated (vended) repositories from account factory

Example
pipelines:
  is-delegated-repo: true

session-duration​

session-durationnumberoptional

Duration in seconds for each session terragunt assumes in AWS during plans and applies.

3600
Example
pipelines:
  session-duration: 3600

tf-binary​

tf-binarystringoptional

The IaC runtime binary, valid options are opentofu or terraform.

opentofu
Example
pipelines:
  tf-binary: opentofu
