Workflows created for Terragrunt Plan and Deploy.

Change Summary

This update introduces two new GitHub Actions workflows for deploying and planning infrastructure using Terragrunt. Additionally, it updates the Kubernetes provider configuration and specifies tool versions in mise.toml.

Technical Details

• Workflows:
  • deploy.yml: Automates the deployment of infrastructure using Terragrunt. It includes steps for checking out code, validating HCL, configuring AWS credentials, and executing terragrunt apply.
  • plan.yml: Automates the planning phase for infrastructure changes. It includes similar steps but executes terragrunt plan instead.
• Kubernetes Provider Configuration:
  • Updated kube.hcl to specify the Kubernetes API server host.
• Tool Versions:
  • Added mise.toml to pin Terragrunt and OpenTofu versions.

Key Learnings & Insights

• Automation: The introduction of GitHub Actions workflows streamlines the deployment and planning processes, reducing manual intervention.
• Configuration Management: Specifying the Kubernetes API server host in kube.hcl enhances configuration clarity and maintainability.
• Tool Versioning: Pinning tool versions in mise.toml ensures consistency across development environments.

Impact Assessment

• Efficiency: Automated workflows improve deployment efficiency and reduce the risk of human error.
• Maintainability: Clear configuration and tool versioning enhance code maintainability and reproducibility.
• Security: Using GitHub Secrets for sensitive information (e.g., AWS credentials, Tailscale auth key) improves security posture.

Developer Notes

• Gotchas: Ensure all required secrets are configured in the GitHub repository settings.
• Future Improvements: Consider adding additional checks or notifications to the workflows for enhanced monitoring.
