Hola,

I have created a serverless plugin today in order to resolve variable substitution from Terraform output. It’s super simple and early days, but may be useful to others:  
**serverless-terraform-outputs**

Feel free to open issues or offer feedback.

Thanks to the **serverless-plugin-git-variables** and **serverless-iam-roles-per-function** projects for reference in getting this working so fast.

In the past I have bridged the Terraform gap by creating a CloudFormation stack via Terraform whose sole purpose was to export variables. This has some pro’s and cons IMHO. Not being able to change or remove exported variables can be a PITA, or a life saver.
