# Network Drivers
nia/docs 0.5.0 (#12381)
* docs/nia: new configuration for services condition & source_input (#11646)
* docs/nia: new configuration for services condition
* docs/nia: new configuration for services source_input
* reword filter and cts_user_defined_meta
Co-authored-by: trujillo-adam <47586768+trujillo-adam@users.noreply.github.com>
* Update service block config to table format
Co-authored-by: trujillo-adam <47586768+trujillo-adam@users.noreply.github.com>
* Remove deprecated driver.working_dir (#11831)
* Deprecate workspace_prefix for now workspaces.prefix (#11836)
* docs/nia: new config field names for services condition/source_input (#11896)
* docs/nia: new config field `names` for services condition/source_input
* Remove language about 'default condition' and services condition relation to services list
Context:
- Added a new `names` field to condition/source_input "services"
- `names` or `regexp` must be configured for condition/source_input "services"
This therefore:
- Removed relationship between condition/source_input "services" and
task.services list
- Removed concept of "default condition" i.e. condition "services" must be
configured with `names` or `regexp`, there is no meaningful unconfigured default
Change: remove language regarding "default condition" and relationship with services list
* docs/nia: Update paramters to table format
Changes from a bulleted list to a table. Also adds the possible response codes
and fixes the update example response to include the inspect object.
* docs/nia: Delete task API and CLI
* docs/nia: Update wording for run values
Co-authored-by: Michael Wilkerson <62034708+wilkermichael@users.noreply.github.com>
* docs/nia: require condition "catalog-services" block's regexp to be configured (#11915)
Changes:
- Update Catalog Services Condition configuration docs to new table format
- Rewrite `regexp` field docs to be required, no longer optional
- Remove details about `regexp` field's original default behavior when the
field was optional
* docs/nia: Update status API docs to table format
* Cleaner wording for response descriptions
Co-authored-by: mrspanishviking <kcardenas@hashicorp.com>
* docs/nia - 'source_includes_var' changes (#11939)
* docs/nia - condition "services" new field source_includes_var
- Add new configuration details for condition "services" block's
`source_includes_var` field.
- Note: this field's description is worded differently from condition type's
`source_includes_var` since a services variable is always required (unlike
other vars) for CTS modules.
- Also worded in a way to anticipate renaming to `use_as_module_input`
* docs/nia - change 'source_includes_var' default value from false to true
- Update configs
- Table-ify Consul-KV condition (reuse wording from Consul-KV source input)
* docs/nia - reword task execution page for source_includes_var changes
- Note: switched to using "module input" language over "source input" language.
Separate PR will make a mass change across docs
- Slim down general task condition section to have fewer details on module input
- Updated services, catalog-services, and consul-kv condition sections for
source_includes_var
- Add config page links for details
* Improve CTS acronym usage
- Use Consul-Terraform-Sync at the first instance with CTS in brackets - Consul-Terraform-Sync (CTS) and then CTS for all following instances on a per-page basis.
- some exceptions: left usage of the term `Consul-Terraform-Sync` in config examples and where it made sense for hyperlinking
* Improve CTS acronym usage (part 2) (#11991)
Per page:
- At first instance in text, use "Consul-Terraform-Sync (CTS)"
- Subsequent instances in text, use "CTS"
* Update schedule condition config to table format
* Update config tables with type column
* docs/nia: Update required fields values
Standardizing Required/Optional over boolean values.
* docs/nia: Standardize order of columns
Updated Required to come before Type, which is how the configurations are formatted. Also
changed the empty strings to "none" for default values.
* Deprecate port CLI option for CTS and updated example usage
* docs/nia cts multiple source input configuration updates (#12158)
* docs/nia cts multiple source input configuration updates
CTS expanded its usage of `source_input` block configurations and added
some restrictions. This change accounts for the following changes:
- `source_input` block can be configured for a task. No longer restricting to
scheduled task
- Multiple `source_input` blocks can be configured for a task. No longer
restricting to one
- Task cannot have multiple configurations defining the same variable type
Future work: We're planning to do some renaming from "source" to "module" for
v0.5. These changes are made in the code and not yet in the docs. These will be
taken care of across our docs in a separate PR. Perpetuating "source" in this
PR to reduce confusion.

Consul-Terraform-Sync (CTS) uses network drivers to execute and update network infrastructure. Drivers transform Consul service-level information into downstream changes by processing and abstracting API and resource details tied to specific network infrastructure.

CTS is a HashiCorp solution to Network Infrastructure Automation. It bridges Consul's networking features and Terraform infrastructure management capabilities. The solution seamlessly embeds Terraform as network drivers to manage automation of Terraform modules. This expands the Consul ecosystem and taps into the rich features and community of Terraform and Terraform providers.

* Update config tables with type column
* docs/nia: Update required fields values
Standardizing Required/Optional over boolean values.
* docs/nia: Standardize order of columns
Updated Required to come before Type, which is how the configurations are formatted. Also
changed the empty strings to "none" for default values.
* Deprecate port CLI option for CTS and updated example usage
* docs/nia cts multiple source input configuration updates (#12158)
* docs/nia cts multiple source input configuration updates
CTS expanded its usage of `source_input` block configurations and added
some restrictions. This change accounts for the following changes:
- `source_input` block can be configured for a task. No longer restricting to
scheduled task
- Multiple `source_input` blocks can be configured for a task. No longer
restricting to one
- Task cannot have multiple configurations defining the same variable type
Future work: We're planning to do some renaming from "source" to "module" for
v0.5. These changes are made in the code and not yet in the docs. These will be
taken care of across our docs in a separate PR. Perpetuating "source" in this
PR to reduce confusion.

CTS automates Terraform execution using a templated configuration to carry out infrastructure changes. The auto-generated configuration leverages input variables sourced from Consul and builds on top of reusable Terraform modules published and maintained by HashiCorp partners and the community. CTS can also run your custom built modules that suit your team's specific network automation needs.

The network driver for CTS determines how the Terraform automation operates. Visit the driver pages to read more about the [Terraform driver](/consul/docs/nia/network-drivers/terraform) and the [HCP Terraform driver](/consul/docs/nia/network-drivers/terraform-cloud).
