Terraform (Remote) Connector

The Terraform Remote connector executes plans against an external Terraform workspace (Terraform Cloud, Terraform Enterprise, or a self-hosted backend).

Credential Fields

Field	Required	Description
Name	Yes	Display name
Workspace URL	Yes	Terraform workspace URL
Token	Yes	Terraform API token

How It Works

Two-phase plan → apply:

1. Nexplane triggers a plan run in the external workspace
2. The plan output is fetched and stored as the CR's blast radius preview
3. The operator reviews the plan in the CR detail view
4. After approval, Nexplane triggers the apply run
5. Apply status is polled until completion

Plan Diff

The Terraform plan output renders in the CR detail view with green (add) / red (destroy) coloring. Approvers see the exact resource changes before signing off.
