[Feature Request] Docker Application with simple UI about terraform-oci-oke HOT 11 CLOSED

What's the use case for this?

The whole point of Terraform is that you manage your infrastructure as code - I agree there is huge room for improvement in the way this module does (or doesn't) do things but a web app is the very last thing the module needs in my opinion.

i agree the whole point of doing this thing is having a UI that can help the developer/USER/newbie to simply put in the values and create the cluster.
So I wanted to assign it to myself actually as I am already working on it . the End goal is to give developer the UI interface from where he can spin up the infra and deploy the application to the cluster only from the UI without knowing about terraform , dockerfile, yaml files. <<<< this is the end use case. i can close the issue and create a pull request instead after creating the application... what say ?

It seems to me that a UI to provision k8s clusters would be an entirely separate project.

I'm just a user of the module though - not an Oracle Dev. Not my call. :)

ohh ok I will talk with @hyder on this separately.

@cawilliamson if you have ideas on how we can improve, I'm very happy to listen

@saiyam1814 The paid version of Terraform, TFE, has a decent Web UI. The issue with Web UI’s though is they are a security nightmare.

If they are spinning up a Kubernetes cluster they should know how to use basic command line.

Also long-term Oracle will probably launch a browser-based IDE, a way to do builds and runs via the Cloud Console, etc. All of these tools will provide additional graphical ways to run Terraform.

@saiyam1814 I am external to Oracle so I can't speak of your internal discussions on this but this repository sits under a user called "oracle-terraform-modules" and in a repository called "terraform-oci-oke".

In it's current state it does not work properly as a Terraform module in any meaningful way (i.e. it is nowhere near production ready.) With that in mind - I think this is entirely the wrong place to even think of adding GUI elements and "quick start" type setups.

A terraform module is 100% about creating a set of resources on a specific provider but presenting the TF developer with a simple frontend to that (i.e. the module may create ~30 resources but from a Terraform point of view this is "one cluster".) It should not include any kind of "quick start" or "gui" elements at all as that runs entirely at odds with what Terraform as a product is and does.

@cawilliamson I think I mentioned that before also to you that I will work internally will Ali and then 7 days ago only this issue was closed(since I am not able to delete) not sure if you saw the status already. I feel there is no point in bringing up same things on closed issue.

@saiyam1814 Sure, no worories. Was just responding to your update added 7hrs ago. 👍
