When creating a Workspace, Terrakube supports 3 workflows types and based on the selected workflow you will need to provide some parameters. Please refer to each workflow section for more reference.
- Version Control workflow: Store your Terraform configuration in a git repository, and trigger runs based on pull requests and merges.
- CLI-driven workflow: Trigger remote Terraform runs from your local command line.
- API-driven workflow: A more advanced option. Integrate Terraform into a larger pipeline using the Terrakube API.

Configure the workspace settings.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Workspace Name | The name of your workspace is unique and used in tools, routing, and UI. Dashes, underscores, and alphanumeric characters are permitted. |
| VCS branch | A list of branches separated by comma that jobs are allowed to kicked off from VCS webhook. This is not used for CLI workflow. |
| Terraform Working Directory | Default workspace directory. Use / for the root folder |
| Terraform Version | The version of Terraform to use for this workspace. Check custom-terraform-cli-builds.md if you want to restrict the versions in your Terrakube instance. |
Once you fill the settings click the Create Workspace button.
When using a VCS workflow you can select which branches, folder and action (aka, Default template (VCS push)) the runs will be triggered from when a git push action happens.
The VCS branches accepts a list of branches separated by comma, the first in the list is used as the default for the runs kicked off from UI. The branches are compared as prefixes against the branch included in the payload sent from VCS provider.

Once you create your workspace, Terrakube sets up a webhook with your VCS. This webhook runs a job based on the selected template every time you push new changes to the set workspace branches. However, this feature does not work yet with Azure DevOps VCS provider.
