infrastructure

This repo contains the underlying infrastructure of CIS 1912. Feel free to poke around! If you want to learn more about how anything is configured just ask.

Beginning of semester configuration

First, make sure all of the hws are unpublished in terraform/main.tf and that you have set the students variable (Most likely by using the TF_VAR_students environment variable in the form TF_VAR_students='["pennkey1","pennkey2"]').

1. Run terraform apply within the terraform folder. This will create all the course infrastructure needed.
2. On GitHub, manually invite students to the team named after their pennkey.

NOTE: Running terraform apply will ask for the following variables:

• GF_GH_CLIENT_ID
• GF_GH_CLIENT_SECRET
• image_pull_pat
• instructors They are provided by a terraform.tfvars file, and should be updated on a semester basis.

Releasing a homework assignment

1. Make sure any changes that need to be made to the homework are finalized.
2. Within terraform/main.tf, for the published local change false to true for the homework that you want to release
3. Run terraform apply

End of semester teardown

Make sure students know that their homework repos will be deleted at the end of the semester. Suggest using a private repo if they want to save any work from the course.

Make sure all homework assignments are marked as unpublished in terraform/main.tf and that your students variable is an empty set then run:

terraform apply
