We can first backup the EC2 image just in case and prioritize the ticket later.
@prabhukiran9999 @wrnu, what do you think ?

wrnu commented 7 months ago

Before we do anything in Live we want to have the entire infrastructure deployment and configuration implemented with automation.

By doing this now we will reduce our risk and effort later.

I think this should be a Epic. 5 does not justify the effort required to build the total solution even we got the firewall backup/restore part figured out , I think. Maybe split to 5 tickets, e.g. 1. infrastructure using terraform, terrgrunt. 2. configuration, depending component using ansible, 3. ci/cd pipeline 4. integration test 5. documentation.

That is a good breakdown of the tasks needed. I'm ok with breaking it up, the points assigned can also be adjusted.

CI/CD for the IaC is is handled by the overlay repo, we may want something separate for the configuration but we can discuss that further.

Also in case it isn't clear, @prabhukiran9999 will be assisting with the development.
