Variables

Variables in ImageFactory allow you to store configuration values that can be referenced within your custom components. This is useful for managing environment-specific settings or secrets.

Basic Example​

resource "imagefactory_variable" "app_version" {
  name  = "APP_VERSION"
  value = "1.2.3"
}

resource "imagefactory_custom_component" "install_app" {
  name            = "install-app"
  stage           = "BUILD"
  cloud_providers = ["AWS"]
  os_types        = ["LINUX"]

  content {
    provisioner = "SHELL"
    script      = <<-EOT
      #!/bin/bash
      echo "Installing version $APP_VERSION"
      # ...
    EOT
  }
}

Argument Reference​

Usage in Components​
