Using GitLab env vars and secrets as Terraform variables

Problem Statement

As a DevOps engineer, in order to store my keys and environment variables outside of my terraform code, I would like to use GitLab env vars in terraform.

Reach

3.0 = Significant reach (~25% to ~50%).

Based on expected Terraform market size.

Impact

TODO

1.0 = Medium impact 0.5 = Low impact 0.25 = Minimal impact

Terraform provides various ways to pass variables. Special named env vars can be used even today. Do we need anything more?
