# proposal: how to (re)structure our infrastructure setup
|
||
|
|
||
|
what we have:
|
||
|
* different providers - currently OTC and kind
|
||
|
* different groups of environments - currently called 'environment_namespace'
|
||
|
* different environments in each group of environments
|
||
|
* environments are called 'cluster_environment' and are terragrunt stacks, i.e. a huge set of resources where the kubernetes cluster itself is only one of them
|
||
|
* the top domain name (like t09.de, buildth.ing) is bound to the environment group
|
||
|
|
||
|
issues:
|
||
|
* in provider OTC there are two attributes for the environment group - 'tenant' and 'environment_namespace' are the same
|
||
|
* missing hierarchy for other providers than otc - we directly start with 'prod' and 'non-prod' right now
|
||
|
|
||
|
## opportunity
|
||
|
|
||
|
right now we start switching to go code.
|
||
|
we can use this port to also restructure, generalize and improve the infrastructure and platfrom-provisioning.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## proposed environment hierarchy
|
||
|
|
||
|
* new: the 'environment_namespace' layer is called 'platformzone': "A neutral, abstract term that encompasses both the isolation (account, tenant, subscription) and the operational context (prod vs. non-prod)." (ChatGPT)
|
||
|
* new: folder 'environments'
|
||
|
* new: level 1 hierarchy 'provider'
|
||
|
* old: level 2 hierarchy 'platformzone'
|
||
|
* old: level 3 hierarchy 'environment'
|
||
|
|
||
