Terraform parallelism param on Apply action
tomsmallwood opened this issue · comments
The parallelism parameter could help with apply actions that modify the same underlying resource which can lead to errors.
https://www.terraform.io/docs/cli/commands/apply.html#parallelism-n
For example, modifying multiple AWS CloudFormation StackSet Instances in the same StackSet caused:
Error: error updating CloudFormation StackSet (stacksetname): OperationInProgressException: Another Operation on StackSet Arn:Aws: CloudFormation:eu-west-1:xxxxxxxxx:StackSet/stacksetid.
Status code: 409
Would need to append the -parallelism=X
string to applyArgs here:
https://github.com/ljfranklin/terraform-resource/blob/master/src/terraform-resource/terraform/client.go#L243
Would also need to provide an option in Put Parameters, e.g.:
- put: terraform
params:
parallelism: 1
Sounds reasonable, although it's unfortunate the AWS Terraform provider can't automatically serialize operations on resources which can't be modified concurrently. I'd accept a PR which adds an optional parallelism
put parameter, adding help wanted
label.
