The Cloud Backend synthesizes a cloud block. The cloud block is a nested block within the top-level terraform settings block. It specifies which Terraform Cloud workspaces to use for the current working directory. The cloud block only affects Terraform CLI’s behavior. When Terraform Cloud uses a configuration that contains a cloud block - for example, when a workspace is configured to use a VCS provider directly - it ignores the block and behaves according to its own workspace settings.

CloudBackend.Builder.create(Construct scope)
    .organization(java.lang.String)

NameTypeDescription
scopesoftware.constructs.ConstructNo description.
organizationjava.lang.StringThe name of the organization containing the workspace(s) the current configuration should use.
workspacesNamedCloudWorkspace|TaggedCloudWorkspacesA nested block that specifies which remote Terraform Cloud workspaces to use for the current configuration.
hostnamejava.lang.StringThe hostname of a Terraform Enterprise installation, if using Terraform Enterprise.
tokenjava.lang.StringThe token used to authenticate with Terraform Cloud.

​
scopeRequired

  • Type: software.constructs.Construct

​
organizationRequired

  • Type: java.lang.String
The name of the organization containing the workspace(s) the current configuration should use.

​
workspacesRequired

A nested block that specifies which remote Terraform Cloud workspaces to use for the current configuration. The workspaces block must contain exactly one of the following arguments, each denoting a strategy for how workspaces should be mapped:

​
hostnameOptional

  • Type: java.lang.String
  • Default: app.terraform.io
The hostname of a Terraform Enterprise installation, if using Terraform Enterprise.

​
tokenOptional

  • Type: java.lang.String
The token used to authenticate with Terraform Cloud. We recommend omitting the token from the configuration, and instead using terraform login or manually configuring credentials in the CLI config file.

Static Functions

NameDescription
isConstructChecks if x is a construct.
isTerraformElementNo description.
isBackendNo description.

​
isConstruct 

import io.cdktn.cdktn.CloudBackend;

CloudBackend.isConstruct(java.lang.Object x)
Checks if x is a construct. Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct instances, even when the construct library is symlinked. Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.
