Files and Templates
Files and templates used for deploying and configuring infrastructure.
Templates are a core component of Forge, allowing you to define, deploy, and configure infrastructure using both Terraform and Ansible. They provide a standardized way to create and manage infrastructure resources, ensuring consistency and reliability across different environments.
Template Types
There are three types of files and templates used in Forge:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Infrastructure | Terraform template for deploying infrastructure. |
| Configuration | Ansible template for configuring infrastructure. |
| File | Files used during the configuration stages. |
Template Varibles
Forge has custom template variables built-in to the template editor, allowing you to easily reuse templates across different environments.
Note:
More information about variable types can be found in each of the specific template sections.
To define these variables within any of the files or templates, simply use the syntax $$variableName$$.
