Automating Cloudflare Tunnel with Terraform

Cloudflare Tunnel allows users to securely connect applications to Cloudflare's edge, enabling teams to expose anything from internal subnets to containers in a fast and secure manner. With recent developments such as Named Tunnels and support for Terraform provider, automating the manual process of creating tunnels has become easier than ever before. This capability brings several benefits including putting more Cloudflare config in code, auto-scaling resources, dynamically spinning up resources like bastion servers for secure logins, and saving time from avoiding manually generating/maintaining tunnels. The ability to tie automation around tunnels allows teams to incorporate them into their existing CI/CD pipelines.
