This is the same as branch reorganize-proposal-1, but using the latest
master branch code, and without removing any existing files.
These changes are a proposal for how to manage infrastructure as code.
The basic idea is as follows:
env/
directory contains configuraiton specific to an environment. An 'environment' is any logical grouping of infrastructure that is specific to one particular use case, or location, or account, etc. Environments inherit configuration hierarchically. A component 'airflow' in a directory 'dev' in a directory 'sfo2' in a directory 'docean' will allow that 'airflow' component to inherit the configuration of those parent directories, so configuration never needs to be duplicated across environments. It also allows for simple perusal of configuration to find configuration values specific to an environment, or more global configuration.A
terraform/
directory contains aroot
directory, where root modules are kept. These modules are passedterraform.sh.tfvars
configuration files from anenv/
. The module is designed to absorb configuration and apply changes the same way in all accounts, with some logic embedded in the Terraform code to work around differences in different environments. In this way, the same root module can be used for multiple environments, keeping the code DRY.A
terraform/
directory also contains asub
directory, which are sub-modules. Think of these as "libraries" of Terraform code. These are not always necessary, but sometimes the extra layer of abstraction is convenient. A well-designed root module is often enough for small projects without the need for sub-modules.Purpose-built deployment scripts are used to pass the
env/
configuration to the components being deployed, which may live in other directories for example theterraform/
modules directories). In some cases, symlinking to anenv/
directory can prevent the need to write a custom deployment script.This proposal is not yet complete. Still to be completed:
Finish taking some existing Terraform modules and adapting them with new variables, and filling in the
env/
directories with new.tfvars
files to carry the variables.Sample of actually planning, importing, and applying existing infrastructure to use this new setup.
