Stack config

The config file is made with simplicity in mind. It is comprised of 4 distinct sections which allow both simplicity and maximum room for configurability of the underlying cloud infrastructure as well as the mlops stack tooling being deployed using mlinfra. The 4 different components are as follows:

A sample stack file configuration

Info

Only the name is a string property in the stack file whereas provider, deployment and stack are all objects.

name

  • The name denotes the name used to refer the stack. It is used internally to track the state of the the stack deployment.
  • It is also used as the bucket_prefix of the terraform state bucket which is used to store the state for this stack.

Info

The name of the config must not exceed 37 characters otherwise an error would be thrown at the mlinfra terraform --action=apply time.

provider

  • The provider block determines where the deployment of the stack config is going to take place.

  • This block also configures cloud provider's information, such as in case of AWS, account id and region of deployment.

  • For more details, see the provider page.

deployment

  • The deployment block configures the type of deployment (whether IaaS or PaaS) on the cloud provider and provides a space for adding any further configurations to the underlying cloud components.
  • The deployment.type can be set to cloud_vm for IaaS or kubernetes for PaaS deployments.

  • The deployment.config can be used to further configure the cloud components; such as the vpc or kubernetes cluster for more user defined customisations.

  • For more details, see the deployment page.
