Sander van Harmelen 52a1b22f7a Implement the remote enhanced backend
This is a refactored version of the `remote` backend that was initially added to Terraform v0.11.8 which should now be compatible with v0.12.0.

Martin Atkins 0b710792a8 website: "functions" layout "Terraform Language" is back
In the heirarchy, both "Terraform Language" and "Functions" are "up" from
the individual function reference pages, so we'll class them as such to
use the back-facing arrow instead of the forward-facing arrow.

Martin Atkins 60ad24229f website: Link from Configuration index to Resource page
Since the index page is long, by the time the reader reaches the end of
it the relevant portion if the navigation is unlikely to be visible. To
compensate for this, we'll link to the first sub-section and thus give
the user an opportunity to notice the navigation structure for the rest
of the pages.

existing links on third-party sites.

Martin Atkins a6749f9efc website: Expand documentation of Override Files
This kinda-weird feature was previously quite severely under-documented in

explains in more detail exactly how it behaves for different top-level
block types within the configuration.

"guide-like" writing style as the other updated pages in this section.

Martin Atkins 48d940323e website: Beginnings of "Functions" configuration section
Previously we just listed out all of the functions in alphabetical order
inside the "Interpolation Syntax" page, but that format doesn't leave much
room for details and usage examples.

Now we give each function its own page, and categorize them for easier
navigation. While many functions are very simple and don't really warrant
a full page, certain functions do have additional details that are worth
mentioning and this structure scales better for those more complicated
functions.

So far this includes only the numeric and string functions. Other
categories will follow in subsequent commits.

Martin Atkins 39579e8d0f website: revisions to the "Configuration Syntax" page and expressions
This rewrite of the "Configuration Syntax" page now gives some more detail
on the top-level structural constructs and de-emphasizes the name "HCL"
as subordinate to "the Terraform language".

It also now includes some commentary on valid identifiers and comments,
and issues around character encodings and line endings.

In addition, we now have a new "Expressions" page that replaces the old
"Interpolation Syntax" page, covering the expression language features
we inherit from HCL and how they behave in the context of Terraform.

The "Expressions" page currently links to a page about the built-in
functions which does not yet exist. This will be created in a later
commit.

Martin Atkins e1754970a8 website: Revise the "Data Sources" configuration docs section
This adopts a more guide-like writing style, similar to what prior commits
have done to some other subsections of this section.

The data sources page has not got any real attention since the feature
was first added, and our vocabulary for describing them and their
lifecycle hadn't quite settled when the page was originally written. This
new version is consistent in how it uses "data source" to describe the
feature that providers offer and "data resource" to describe what is
created by a "data" block in configuration, which then allows us to
draw on the many shared features between both data and managed resources.

For the moment this waits until "data resource" is defined in order to
first introduce the qualifier "managed resource". We may wish to revise
this again to mention that more specific nomenclature in passing on the
"Resources" page, in case a user encounters it elsewhere and wants to
learn what it means without needing to be familiar with data resources
first.

Martin Atkins eeb96b1e12 website: Revise the "Modules" configuration docs section
This adopts a more guide-like writing style, similar to what prior commits
have done to some other subsections of this section.

Since we already have a whole top-level section devoted to modules, there
is no need for full coverage of all of their features here. Instead, this
section focuses on an an initial introduction to what modules are and
the basics of their usage within the Terraform language. We then link
to the main modules section for the full details.

Martin Atkins fdc8bb6c00 website: Revise the "Local Values" configuration docs section

2018-10-16 18:47:33 -07:00
Martin Atkins e41883d972 website: Revise the "Output Values" configuration docs section
This adopts a more guide-like writing style, similar to what prior commits
have done to some other subsections of this section.

In the process of writing this, I identified some unclear statements in
the "Resources" subsection, and so these are also revised here for
consistency with the output values documentation.

Martin Atkins f8f2ff2202 website: Revise the "Input Variables" configuration docs section

2018-10-16 18:47:33 -07:00
Martin Atkins a6cf796873 website: Revise the "Providers" configuration docs section
These revisions reflect this sub-section's new earlier placement in the
sub-section list, leading to a more guide-like style for the initial
sections.

Also includes some minor copy-editing to align terminology with that
introduced in the prior commit for the "Resources" docs page.
2018-10-16 18:47:33 -07:00
Martin Atkins 6fa6a0d110 website: revise the "Resources" configuration docs section
This is now the leading subsection of the Configuration section of the
docs, and so this rewrite intends to make it more "guide-like" and as
accessible as possible to those who are not yet familiar with other
Terraform concepts.

This rewrite also attempts to introduce some consistency into our
vocabulary, which should eventually be reflected throughout our
documentation. In particular:

- "Resource" refers to the block the user writes in configuration, while
  "Resource _Type_" refers to what the provider defines. We previously
  used "resource" for both of these interchangeably.

- "Resource" is no longer used to refer to what gets created and managed
  in remote APIs as a result of a resource block in configuration. Lacking
  a good distinct name for these, this guide uses the word "object",
  qualifying it as "infrastructure object" or "remote object" where
  necessary to retain clarity. This distinction is important to enable
  a clear description of resource lifecycle.

- "Argument" refers to an element (attribute or block) within a resource
  block. This terminology was already being used in some places, so we
  embrace it here as a way to distinguish from "attribute", which is
  what a resource _exports_ for use in expressions.

- Since interpolation is no longer needed to use expressions in the
  language, the word "expression" is used to describe the definition of
  a value that might involve some computation. Where necessary, this is
  used with a modifier "arbitrary expression" to contrast with situations
  where the set of allowed expression constructs is constrained.

Martin Atkins 27429b61a9 website: Flesh out the intro to the "Configuration" section.
The prior content on this page was little more than an instruction to
begin navigating the sub-sections of this section.

The new content aims to give a broad overview of some of the language
concepts and a syntax example, in order to create some context to help
the user navigate the subsections more easily.

This also introduces for the first time usage of the term "the Terraform
language". This was previously left un-named, leading to some awkward
sentence constructions elsewhere in the docs. This new name gives us
some specific terminology to use in order to contrast the language that
exists at Terraform's level of abstraction, defining the semantics, from
the underlying grammar provided by HCL.
2018-10-16 18:46:46 -07:00
Martin Atkins e5e3452ffa website: Reorganize the "Configuration" docs section
With the additional configuration language features coming in Terraform
v0.12, our existing documentation structure is beginning to strain.

Here we reorganize the navigation slightly in order to introduce the
concepts in a more appropriate order so that we can reveal complexity
more gradually. Subsequent commits will revise the content of these
pages to better reflect the new sequencing.

The "Environment Variables" page is moved from the Configuration section
into the "Commands" section, since it is not considered a part of the
configuration language and thus more appropriate in the CLI documentation.
The old placement is reflective of the broader purpose that the
"Configuration" section had originally, but its new focus will be on
the Terraform language (.tf files) in particular, with other aspects of
customizing Terraforms behavior covered in other sections.

Martin Atkins 15ad2e4f9e website: Revise the "Module Sources" page
It's been a while since we made any significant updates to this page.
The main theme of this revamp is to ensure that we highlight how to
provide "ambient credentials" for each of the module sources using the
standard mechanisms for each source type.

While there, I also attempted a general cleanup to highlight the main
cases and make this less like a detailed description of all of
go-getter's esoteric features, and did some general copy-editing to write
it in our usual documentation "voice".
