Plan a Run and Apply or Discard It
with Terraform · IT Infrastructure Management
Queue a Terraform run, wait for the plan, and apply or discard it.
- Read the workspace to confirm it exists and is not locked, since a locked workspace will refuse to queue a new run.
- Queue a plan-only run against the workspace. Auto-apply is disabled on the run itself so this workflow stays in control of the confirmation decision.
- Poll the run until the plan settles, repeating while it is still pending, fetching, or planning, then branching on the terminal plan outcome.
- Confirm the finished plan and apply it, recording the supplied comment against the apply for the audit trail.
- Discard the run when the plan errored, so the workspace is not left holding a pending run that blocks the next one.
What you'll need to have ready
- workspaceId: The workspace identifier to run against (e.g. ws-XXXXXXXXXXXX).
- runMessage: The message recorded against the run, shown in the run history.
- applyComment: The comment recorded when the plan is confirmed and applied.
- discardComment: The comment recorded when a failed plan is discarded.
