The discussion focuses on the usage of Terraform Workspaces for managing multi-environment infrastructures in AWS. Several comments critique the limitations of Workspaces, emphasizing that as environments scale, the differences between them become significant and cannot simply be managed with conditionals. It is suggested that each environment should be its own directory with distinct module instantiation so that unique configurations can be easily managed without cluttering the root module with variables and conditionals. Alternatives to Workspaces, such as leveraging modules for encapsulating infrastructure patterns, are strongly recommended to ensure a scalable architecture. Insights into tools like Terraformer, which aid in transitioning to modular Terraform configurations, are also highlighted, showcasing its effectiveness in quickly generating Terraform files from existing AWS resources. The conclusion drawn from the comments is that using modules increases clarity and ease of management as the infrastructure complexity grows, while Workspaces might introduce more confusion than benefits.
