  • Tools & Utilities
Terraform Cloud Agent (tfc-agent) is a bridge that lets HashiCorp's Terraform Cloud (now HCP Terraform) securely manage and automate infrastructure inside your private network. It runs on your own servers and processes Terraform plans and applies there, so you don't need to expose your internal network to the public internet.

First-install notes

  • How it works The agent connects outbound to the Terraform Cloud / HCP Terraform API and runs Terraform plans and applies on your own infrastructure, so no inbound ports need to be opened on your private network. source

Common questions

Does a self-hosted tfc-agent need inbound ports from the Terraform Cloud or HCP Terraform web UI?

No. The agent polls HCP Terraform or Terraform Enterprise for changes and executes them locally, so public ingress traffic is not required.

How do API-triggered runs and OIDC work with tfc-agent in GitHub Actions?

For GitHub Actions, TFC agent polling is the relevant agent model, and API-triggered runs with OIDC interact asynchronously with it.

How can I run scripts after each Terraform job on a tfc-agent?

Use agent hooks to run pre-plan, post-plan, pre-apply, and post-apply scripts around each job.

How can I reduce repeated large provider downloads for a Kubernetes-deployed tfc-agent?

Use provider caching with the tfc-agent so providers are not downloaded repeatedly, reducing Terraform run networking and provider download size.
