Secrets Management

The simplest way is probably a combination of direnv and pass.

# ${PROJECT}/main.tf

variable "vultr_api_key" {
  type = string
}

provider "vultr" {
  api_key = (var.vultr_api_key)
}

# ...

# ${PROJECT}/.envrc

export TF_VAR_vultr_api_key="$(pass foo/bar/api_key)"

cd ${PROJECT}
direnv allow
terraform init
