Deployment: Deploy and Run

Deployment Steps

Use the following command to login (replace with the profile configured in your config.yaml):

aws sso login --profile Solution-Architects.User-979559056307

💡 Note: The AWS profile used here should match the aws.profile value in your config.yaml file.

2. Initialize

To initialize Terragrunt, run the following command in your customer folder inside arena-terragrunt. This ensures all modules and dependencies are set up correctly for your environment:

cd ./utils/arena-terragrunt/your-customer
terragrunt init --all --upgrade

Replace your-customer with the actual name of your customer folder. Running terragrunt init --all --upgrade here helps avoid issues with module references and ensures a clean environment for deployment.

3. Plan

terragrunt plan --all

4. Apply

Before you run the apply step, make sure your Python virtual environment is active.

Note: Keep your laptop unlocked while running terraform. Locking your laptop may interrupt the terraform process.

To deploy all modules at once (default):
```
terragrunt apply --all
```
To backup config.yaml to S3: The config file is automatically backed up when you run terragrunt apply from the customer directory:
```
terragrunt apply
```
This uploads your config.yaml to S3 at s3://mongodb-arena/terragrunt/<customer-name>/config.yaml.

In most cases, you only need to run the default apply command above to deploy all modules.
The following commands are for advanced or specific scenarios.

To apply a specific module:
Replace <module-directory> with the desired module folder:
```
terragrunt apply --working-dir=<module-directory>
```

To taint (mark for recreation) a specific resource in the EKS module:

terragrunt run --working-dir=eks-cluster -- taint '<resource.name>'

💡 Tip: Always run terragrunt plan --all before applying to review the changes that will be made.

To remove a resource from the Terraform state using Terragrunt:
This is useful if you need to “forget” a resource without destroying it.
Replace <module-directory> with the relevant module folder and <resource_address> with the resource to remove:
```
terragrunt run --working-dir=<module-directory> -- state rm '<resource_address>'
```

5. Destroy

Important: Before destroying, download the content of the view user_leaderboard in the arena_shared database to obtain participants’ names and emails.

To destroy all modules:
```
terragrunt destroy --all
```
To destroy a specific module:
Replace <module-directory> with the desired module folder:
```
terragrunt destroy --working-dir=<module-directory>
```

Always review any plan before applying changes. Destroy resources only when they are no longer needed.
