.====== Terraform ======

Terraform is how we manage our k8s. As an Infrastructure-as-Code solution, it allows us to create a reproducible deployment using just a few configuration files and commands (in theory). These configurations are managed in the [[https://git.tardisproject.uk/tardis/k8s|Kubernetes Configs]] repository.

========= Step-by-step deployment =========

The first step to deploying is to configure your working environment. You'll need to ssh into sandbox and follow the steps in [[https://console.tardisproject.uk|console]] to configure your standard-user Kubernetes.

Once this is done, you can run the following commands in sandbox.

    kubectl config set-context tardis-admin --cluster=tardis --user=tardis-oidc --namespace=tardis-admin
    kubectl config use-context tardis-admin

Following this, you'll need to clone the repository by running

    git clone https://git.tardisproject.uk/tardis/k8s
    cd k8s

You can now run the following commands to setup terraform.

    terraform init

And run the following commands to deploy your changes each time

    terraform plan # shows you the changes
    terraform apply # applies the changes to production

While much of this is handled in terraform, for debugging purposes, you may need to use ''kubectl''.
