Example: Scaffolds

Concrete, ready-to-run scaffold templates, organized by cloud. These are the same templates atmos init's catalog pulls from (aws/app, aws/landing-zone, gcp/landing-zone, azure/landing-zone) — this directory is their source of truth.

Learn more in the Init Command Documentation and the Scaffold Command Documentation.

What You'll See

• A real, emulator-provable landing zone generated from a local template directory with atmos scaffold generate
• How the generated project's !terraform.state dependency (kms first, then everything that reads its key) drives apply order

Try It

cd examples/scaffolds

# See the templates this directory provides
atmos scaffold generate ./aws/landing-zone ./my-landing-zone --set project_name=my-landing-zone --dry-run

# Or generate for real
atmos scaffold generate ./aws/landing-zone ./my-landing-zone --set project_name=my-landing-zone
atmos --chdir=./my-landing-zone emulator up aws -s dev
atmos --chdir=./my-landing-zone terraform apply kms -s dev -auto-approve
atmos --chdir=./my-landing-zone terraform apply audit-trail -s dev -auto-approve
atmos --chdir=./my-landing-zone terraform apply baseline -s dev -auto-approve
atmos --chdir=./my-landing-zone terraform apply monitoring -s dev -auto-approve
atmos --chdir=./my-landing-zone terraform apply iam-baseline -s dev -auto-approve
atmos --chdir=./my-landing-zone terraform output monitoring -s dev
atmos --chdir=./my-landing-zone emulator down aws -s dev

The same templates are also reachable by name through the catalog once published (atmos init aws/landing-zone ./my-landing-zone or atmos scaffold generate aws/landing-zone ./my-landing-zone).

Templates

Directory	Purpose
aws/app	Application SDLC repository for AWS
aws/landing-zone	AWS landing zone environments (audit trail, KMS, SSM, monitoring, IAM)
gcp/landing-zone	GCP landing zone environments (GCS, Secret Manager, service accounts)
azure/landing-zone	Azure landing zone environments (resource group, VNet, subnet, NSG)

Creating Custom Templates

For a minimal walkthrough of scaffold-template mechanics (prompts, Go templating, atmos.yaml-registered templates), see examples/scaffolding instead — these templates are meant to be used, not edited as a tutorial.
