Hello,
The current installation/setup process can be automated and improved upon by embracing Infrastructure as code, thereby eliminating/reducing manual installation/setup instructions.
At a very high level, define a Construct or Stack using CDK that will have the necessary components (ECR Containers, ELB, DB’s etc)
cdk synth && cdk deploy will validate the said stack and deploy/create resources automatically to bootstrapped AWS Accounts.
This solution has many benefits as follows
- CI-CD right out of the box (CDK pipelines)
- Infrastructure provisioning logic resides in code (No more Clickops or manual creation)
- Multi Region/Multi Account/Multi Environment Deployments/Installation with single command.
CDK has excellent support for TypeScript and Python, so lot of internal contributors would be empowered via this approach.
