Greentic Deployer
greentic-deployer is a CLI and library that builds cloud-agnostic deployment plans for Greentic packs and then runs provider-specific deployment packs (kind deployment) to materialise the required IaC/artifacts for AWS, Azure, GCP, or any other target.
Concepts
- Application packs (kind
applicationormixed) describe flows, components, tools, secrets, and tenant bindings.greentic-deployerintrospects them to understand runners, messaging, channels, secrets, OAuth, and telemetry requirements. - DeploymentPlan is a provider-agnostic model (
greentic-types::DeploymentPlan) that captures messaging topology, runner services, channel ingress, secrets, OAuth redirect URLs, and telemetry hooks. - Deployment packs (kind
deployment) supply provider-specific deployment flows. Each flow is atype: eventsflow made of deployment components (supports: ["events"],world: "greentic:deploy-plan@1.0.0") that can read the plan viaget-deployment-plan()and emit IaC/templates when the host grantshost.iac.write_templates. - Providers / strategies are a mapping (
provider,strategy) →(deployment_pack_id, deploy_flow_id); e.g.("aws","serverless") -> ("greentic.deploy.aws","deploy_aws_serverless").greentic-deployerchooses the mapping for the requested--provider/--strategy, loads that deployment pack, and executes it viagreentic-runner.
Building
CLI
greentic-deployer <plan|apply|destroy> --provider <aws|azure|gcp> \
--tenant <tenant-id> --environment <env> --pack <path> \
[--yes] [--preview] [--dry-run] [--iac-tool <tf|terraform|tofu|opentofu>]
Examples:
- Plan an AWS deployment:
greentic-deployer plan --provider aws --tenant acme --environment staging --pack examples/acme-pack
- Apply the plan once reviewed:
```bash
greentic-deployer apply --provider aws --tenant acme --environment staging --pack examples/acme-pack --yes
- Destroy resources when you no longer need them:
greentic-deployer destroy --provider aws --tenant acme --environment staging --pack examples/acme-pack
Plans and provider artifacts are written to `deploy/<provider>/<tenant>/<environment>/` for inspection.
## Configuration
- `GREENTIC_ENV` sets the default environment (defaults to `dev`).
- `GREENTIC_BASE_DOMAIN` controls the base domain used when emitting OAuth redirect URLs (defaults to `deploy.greentic.ai`).
- OTLP tracing is wired via `GREENTIC_OTLP_ENDPOINT` or standard `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`.
- `GREENTIC_IAC_TOOL` overrides the IaC tool used when running `apply`/`destroy`. Accepts `tf`/`terraform` or `tofu`/`opentofu`. When unset the deployer prefers `tofu` (if available), falls back to `terraform`, and execution fails later if the binary is absent.
## Secrets & OAuth
- Secrets are surfaced in plans with logical names (e.g. `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN`, `TEAMS_CLIENT_SECRET`) and are only fetched during `apply`/`destroy`.
- `greentic-deployer` now uses `greentic-secrets`’ `DefaultResolver` so AWS/Azure/GCP backends are auto-discovered via environment metadata and a `SecretsCore` is built for the configured tenant/environment. Apply/destroy fail fast when a required secret is missing, with a clear tenant/environment error.
- OAuth clients use `greentic-oauth`’s `ProviderId` identifiers (e.g. `google`, `microsoft`, `github`) so downstream tooling can reuse the same descriptors when wiring the broker, and redirect URLs continue to follow the `https://{domain}/oauth/{provider}/callback/{tenant}/{environment}` pattern.
-## Telemetry & Provider Artifacts
- Telemetry is instrumented via `greentic-telemetry`, which publishes OTLP spans for each `plan`, `apply`, or `destroy` action and injects a task-local `TelemetryCtx` capturing tenant/provider/session keys.
- Provider artifacts now embed the telemetry endpoint and context in the generated shell/HashiCorp/Deployment Manager snippets (for example, Terraform output includes `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`, Azure Bicep adds the value under container `env`, and GCP config adds the annotation metadata), so every generated service inherits the tenant context.
- Secrets, OAuth redirects, and binding hints are surfaced directly inside the provider outputs so you can see which vault entries and redirect URLs will be consumed up front.
- OAuth clients are inferred from channel requirements. Each redirect URL follows the pattern `https://{domain}/oauth/{provider}/callback/{tenant}/{environment}`.
## Runner & Messaging Insights
- The deployment plan includes binding hints per runner (e.g. NATS connectivity, channel ingress) plus the WASI world name for every component so deployment packs know what to host.
- `MessagingPlan` captures the JetStream-enabled cluster topology and subjects that deployment packs may reference when producing IaC snippets.
## Example packs
### `examples/acme-pack`
- Minimal single-flow *application pack* with two secrets and two OAuth clients surfaced via annotations.
- Component manifests (`components/qa/process/manifest.json`) drive secret discovery so deployment packs render the right vault references.
- Running the CLI drops `master.tf`, `variables.tf`, and `plan.json` under `deploy/<provider>/acme/staging/`.
- `annotations.greentic.deployment` sets the preferred deployment strategy (e.g. `"iac-only"`); when omitted, the CLI `--strategy` flag is used.
### `examples/acme-plus-pack`
- Multi-flow application pack with two components (`support.automator`, `ops.router`), four secrets, two channel connectors, and explicit messaging subjects.
- Exercising this pack produces richer IaC under `deploy/<provider>/acmeplus/staging/`.
- Also declares `greentic.deployment.strategy = "iac-only"` so downstream tooling knows which deployment pack/flow to target by default.
Both packs log telemetry via `greentic-telemetry` so plan/apply/destroy traces show up in OTLP backends.
## Terraform & OpenTofu
- Provider artifacts live under `deploy/<provider>/<tenant>/<environment>/` and the CLI runs the selected IaC tool inside that directory.
- `--iac-tool` or `GREENTIC_IAC_TOOL` accept `tf|terraform|tofu|opentofu`; when unset the deployer prefers `tofu` then falls back to `terraform`.
- Apply runs `init`, `plan`, `apply plan.tfplan`; destroy runs `init`, `destroy`. `--dry-run` prints the command list without executing anything.
## Re-running provider artifacts
Once artifacts exist and secrets are stored you can re-run them manually:
- Inspect `apply-manifest.json` / `destroy-manifest.json` to confirm secret paths and OAuth redirect URLs.
- AWS: `cd deploy/aws/<tenant>/<environment>` and run the recorded Terraform/OpenTofu commands (`master.tf`, `variables.tf`, `plan.json`).
- Azure: `master.bicep` plus `parameters.json` feed `az deployment group create ...`.
- GCP: `master.yaml` plus `parameters.yaml` feed `gcloud deployment-manager deployments create ...`.
- `--dry-run` or `--preview` show the IaC shell commands without touching cloud resources.
## Try the sample packs
1. Minimal pack:
```bash
cargo run -p greentic-deployer -- plan --provider aws --tenant acme --environment staging --pack examples/acme-pack
- Inspect
deploy/aws/acme/staging/(and matchingazure/gcp) for:master.tf,variables.tf,plan.json(AWS).master.bicep,parameters.json,plan.json(Azure).master.yaml,parameters.yaml,plan.json(GCP).
apply/destroywrite manifests listing secrets, OAuth redirects, and telemetry attributes, so you can double-check before running IaC directly.- Repeat with the larger pack (same deployment pack, richer plan):
CI smoke test
scripts/ci-smoke.shiterates over providers (aws/azure/gcp), actions (apply/destroy), and both packs in--dry-runmode to guarantee IaC command generation works../ci/local_check.shis the local equivalent run before pushing (fmt, clippy, tests, docs, and the smoke script).
Sample IaC output / deployment packs
- Deployment packs such as
greentic.deploy.awsorgreentic.deploy.genericconsume the plan viagreentic:deploy-plan@1.0.0and emit IaC underdeploy/<provider>/<tenant>/<environment>/. deploy/aws/acmeplus/staging/master.tfhighlights the ECS setup generated by the AWS deployment pack.deploy/azure/acmeplus/staging/master.bicepincludes container apps and secret bindings generated by the Azure deployment pack.deploy/gcp/acmeplus/staging/master.yamlexpresses Deployment Manager resources with inline Secret Manager references from the GCP deployment pack.- See
docs/provider-visual-guide.md(and the SVG mocks underdocs/images/) for diagrams + screenshot tips.
Adding new deployment targets
- Author a deployment pack (
kind: deployment) withtype: eventsflows made of deployment components (supports: ["events"],world: "greentic:deploy-plan@1.0.0",host.iac.write_templates = true). - Publish that pack (e.g.
greentic.deploy.mycloudwith flowdeploy_mycloud_iac). - Update the provider/strategy mapping so
("mycloud","iac") -> ("greentic.deploy.mycloud","deploy_mycloud_iac"). greentic-deployerremains provider-agnostic: it loads the application pack, builds theDeploymentPlan, selects the deployment pack based on--provider/--strategy, and delegates IaC generation to the flow viagreentic-runner.- Hosts (runner/control planes) should register their executor via:
Registered executors receive the resolveduse Arc; use ; ; set_deployment_executor;(pack_id, flow_id)and can invokegreentic-runnerusing the shared bindings fromgreentic-interfaces-host. If no executor is registered the legacy Rust shims run as a fallback.
