Configure a Stack

This guide explains configuring a Stack’s name, description, and VCS settings in HCP Terraform.

Requirements

To view a Stack and its configurations, you must also be a member of a team in your organization with one of the following permissions:

• Organization-level Manage all projects or higher
• Project-level Maintain or higher

Configure a stack

You can configure a Stack by performing the following steps:

1. In the navigation menu, click Projects under Manage.
2. Select the project containing your Stack.
3. Click Stacks in the navigation menu.
4. Select the Stack you want to configure.
5. Click Stack settings in the navigation menu.
6. Update any of the following settings:
   • Name
   • Description
   • Version control settings, including:
     • Stacks automatically trigger new plans when you push them to your repositories’ default branch. To deactivate this behavior, uncheck VCS Trigger Enabled.
     • You can also configure Stacks to work from either a branch or tag-based workflow.
     • By default, HCP Terraform fetches your stack’s configuration after creating your Stack. To fetch your Stack configuration manually, uncheck Fetch configuration after HCP Terraform creates stack.
7. Click Save settings to apply your changes.
