Using Terraform and AWS to create environments on the fly
summary
Uses Terraform to provision an AWS VPC, S3 backend and an EKS cluster in ~10 minutes, stores state in an S3 backend, and then deploys Argo CD via Terraform so GitOps can push Helm apps. Demo forks a charts repo, enables a Move Watchman Helm release, and reports 42 resources added during one apply. Per-tenant infra is fully separate, provisioning is ~80% automated, UI port-forwarding in Cloud9 is flaky but the deployed pods and API work.
