How to video: Setup Scalr, EventBridge & Terraform or OpenTofu

By

Many DevOps teams use Terraform to manage AWS EventBridge. However, using AWS EventBridge to monitor Terraform events is less discussed. We'll review how Scalr's native integration with EventBridge allows you to build event-driven workflows based on Terraform & OpenTofu events.

Check out the video below to see it in action.

Terraform/ OpenTofu and Amazon EventBridge make a powerful combination, whether it is using Terraform/ OpenTofu to automate the creation of EventBridge resources or using EventBridge to create an event-driven workflow. Up until now, Scalr was the missing piece that tied the two together so that you could actually receive Terraform events in EventBridge itself. This is now available on both free and paid plans; give it a try in Scalr today.

Note: While this blog references Terraform, everything mentioned in here also applies to OpenTofu. New to OpenTofu? It is a fork of Terraform 1.5.7 as a result of the license change from MPL to BUSL by HashiCorp. OpenTofu is an open-source alternative to Terraform that is governed by the Linux Foundation. All features available in Terraform 1.5.7 or earlier are also available in OpenTofu. Find out the history of OpenTofu here.

Start using the OpenTofu & Terraform platform of the future.
