Does Adhoc environment work?

[pdang29]

Hi @briancaffey,

Were you able to get the adhoc environment work? I didn't see the adhoc pipeline run on this project.

When I look at your github action workflow, the adhoc base create/update (spinning up new bastion host and new RDS) looks almost identical with the the prod base create/update, that means it doesn't seem to use shared resources. Can you help me understand this?
I was reading this documentation: https://hackernoon.com/ad-hoc-environments-for-django-applications-with-ecs-terraform-and-github-actions
Btw loved the detailed explanations!
Looking forward to hearing from you!

@pdang29 I have been able to get the ad hoc environments to work, yes. Which IaC tool are you using? Most recently I have been focusing my efforts on Pulumi, but I have used CDK and Terraform to create the same type of library (for both ad hoc and production environments). And that is correct, the GitHub Actions jobs for ad hoc and production environments are very similar. Both ad hoc environments and production environments use "shared resources" but for production environments, the base resources are only "shared" by one environment, rather than multiple ad hoc environments.

@briancaffey I used Terraform. I will check it again and see if I can make it works. Thanks!
