Set up user access for AWS and GitHub from a single configuration file.5. Configure CI/CD Integrations
Configure GitHub Actions to authenticate with AWS and set up any optional integrations like Terramate Cloud.6. Deploy Infrastructure
Deploy the core AWS infrastructure: networking, EKS cluster, and application-specific resources.This step is performed for each deployment environment (e.g. staging and production).
7. Cluster Access
Configure kubectl access to your EKS cluster through the bastion host.This step is performed for each deployment environment (e.g. staging and production).
8. Deploy Kubernetes Baseline
Bootstrap ArgoCD and the infrastructure components it depends on. Once running, ArgoCD takes over and manages all remaining cluster resources.This step is performed for each deployment environment (e.g. staging and production).
