Welcome to the teztnets wiki!

Design

• infrastructure as code with Pulumi: everything can be spun up with code only
• two nested repos: one private repo to deploy the cluster, node, and infra charts, one open-soure repo to describe the infrastructure externally. See best practices
• portable:
  • in-cluster nginx rather than Google Application Load Balancer
  • in-cluster management of the teztnets.xyz DNS zone
  • in-cluster cert-manager + letsencrypt rather than Google-provisioned certificates
  • in-cluster monitoring with prometheus operator
  • this allows for an easy move to another cloud provider when requested.
• chart-centric: most of the infra is siloed in helm charts and defined in yaml files. These yaml files are committed in the repo
  • the most important charts are custom built in tezos-k8s

How to Deploy from Scratch
