One repository for all configuration management or put configuration management in with project repos? #197

Closed mlandauer closed 9 years ago

This is a question.

See for example the provisioning directory in the morph.io repo: https://github.com/openaustralia/morph/tree/master/provisioning

Here we have the provisioning stuff mixed in with the project. This makes working on a single project really easy because everything we need is there.

Alternatively we could have a single repo which has the provisioning setup for all our infrastructure. The advantage of this is that we could for instance make changes to our whole infrastructure in a single place.

Another alternative is that we could keep the configuration management in the project repos but factor out some common ansible roles and include them via submodules. Eek!

@henare and I decided to start with a single repo and see how we go. If we need to change it should be easy to split apart the separate projects.
