This repository has been deprecated and is no longer actively maintained.

The Collie CLI was originally developed to provide visibility and governance across multi-cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, and GCP.

>

Today, these concepts have evolved and are now part of the meshStack Hub, which serves as the central place to discover, manage, and reuse building blocks and platform capabilities within the meshStack ecosystem.

>

👉 Please refer to meshStack Hub instead:

We recommend migrating to meshStack Hub for a supported, actively maintained, and more integrated experience.

Collie CLI

Collie is a tool for building and managing landing zones for AWS, Azure or GCP as terraform modules.

Use collie to

• define your core cloud architecture and landing zone(s) using maintainable

terraform modules

• discover and leverage ready-to-use modules implementing best-practice

solutions to common landing zone challenges from Collie Hub

• leverage an efficient, opinionated terraform workflow that eliminates

boilerplate and produces great documentation for application and security teams

🥜 Collie in a nutshell

Collie is a tool to streamline building and managing landing zones using terraform for AWS, Azure and GCP. Think of collie like a wrapper around terraform to scaffold, develop and deploy terraform modules.

• platform engineers use collie to manage a structured git repository containing

all code defining their landing zone(s)

• collie leverages a terraform workflow (powered by terragrunt) to break down

complex landing zones into modular, logically structured kit modules

• kit modules are standard terraform modules following minimal conventions
• collie lets you import community-maintained modules from

Collie Hub and customize them in a fork & own approach

☝️ Prerequisites

To use collie, you'll need to have the following tools installed.

• terraform to define landing zones using

infrastructure as code

• terragrunt to

build and deploy terraform

• terraform-docs

to generate terraform module documentation

• (optional) node.js to preview your cloud foundation

documentation in a local webserver

For each cloud platform you want to manage, you'll need the cloud CLI installed.

• For AWS, this is the aws CLI. Install it

here. Do not use the Docker install method.

• For Azure, this is the az CLI. Install it

here.

• For Google Cloud, this is the gcloud CLI. Install it

here.
