Managing Workspaces With the TFE Provider
summary
Uses the TFE provider (v0.26 beta) to programmatically create and manage Terraform Cloud workspaces, publishing a module in private registry that provisions two GitHub-linked workspaces (test1 and test2), sets variables and AWS creds, and wires a triggered workspace chain so test1’s successful apply automatically plans test2. Demo actually creates an S3 bucket with a random name, then destroys three resources and deletes the workspaces, showing the approach works and runs in production for multiple customers.
