Choose a remediation strategy

The remediation strategy is the way to tell Burrito how it should handle the remediation of drifts on your Terraform layers.

As for the runner spec override, you can specify a spec.remediationStrategy either on the TerraformRepository or the TerraformLayer.

The configuration of the TerraformLayer will take precedence.

spec.remediationStrategy API reference

Field	Type	Default	Effect
autoApply	Boolean	false	If true when a plan shows drift, it will run an apply.
onError.maxRetries	Integer	5 or value defined in Burrito configuration	How many times Burrito should retry a plan/apply when a runner fails.

Warning

This operator is still experimental. Use spec.remediationStrategy.autoApply: true at your own risk.

Example

With this example configuration, Burrito will create apply runs for this layer, with a maximum of 3 retries.
