Filling in the Gaps: When Terraform Falls Short, Python and Typer Step In

Friday 10:55 in Palladium

In this session, we’ll address a common challenge in managing resources and APIs that lack native Terraform providers but still need to integrate seamlessly into your CI/CD pipeline. I’ll demonstrate how Python’s Typer library can help bridge this gap by offering a straightforward yet powerful command-line interface (CLI). I’ll explain how to create and configure Typer applications, pass parameters, and integrate these scripts with Terraform.
