Problem Statement

Currently all terraform plan and terraform apply are run from devcontainer, which is not a good practice to follow. We need terraform operations to be performed in a gitops fashion.

First support will be Atlantis

Problem Statement

To make this lab useful, there needs to be a clear and directed path for deployment.

Acceptance Criteria

NOTE: A "tier" is a platform layer that has a clear boundary of responsibility and a capability set to build subsequent "tiers" upon.

This mechanism should take a tiered deployment approach:

• Able to support multiple tiers
• Alterations to one tier should not impact the availability of it's consuming tiers

Effort Tracking

• #3
• #4
• #5

Problem Statement

Currently clusters are hard-coded to a single node. This was intended to keep the lab as close to free as possible, however sometimes it's worth the cost to scale for capacity.

Need

Support the ability to scale clusters, both horizontally (number of instances) and vertically (instance size).

Nice to have

• Add cost estimation to terraform plan
• Ease scaling back down to free tier

Problem Statement

It's annoying to keep losing each tier's settings.auto.tfvars. Users need to be able to retain their configurations with git updates.
