You want to avoid CloudFormation because it’s slow, you don’t have much insight to what it’s doing while it’s running (the interface really sucks), it’s hard to stop it, and there are cases where it will get stuck for 4 hours (if certain internal components hang, it will retry twice with a 2 hr timeout and not even AWS premium support can unblock you). Terraform puts all of the control about what’s going on in your hands, the syntax is much simpler (CF’s json format is way too much syntax), and the “modules” feature allows for way simpler reusability.

Hackathon Requirements

In order to organize a hackathon, we have to describe:

What the hackathon is about
What the benefits are
How the results/benefits will be reported
then talk to the resource managers and product managers with that stuff

General Requirements

We want per-branch automatic k8s deploys in our staging environment. Each github branch of a repo has an instance of - running. Deployments self-destruct after 4 hours if the branch is not master. Anyone can trigger a new build with a comment on a pull request (or new commit).
