🧹 Nitpick comments (14)
examples/complete/root-modules/spacelift-automation/policies/plan.deny-static-aws-creds.rego (1)
4-9: Enhance the error message with security best practices.While the policy correctly denies static AWS credentials, the error message could be more helpful by suggesting alternatives.
- message := "static AWS credentials are evil (%s)" + message := "static AWS credentials are not allowed (%s). Please use IAM roles or AWS STS temporary credentials instead."examples/complete/root-modules/spacelift-automation/policies/trigger.dependencies.rego (1)
9-17: Consider adding validation for circular dependencies.The trigger policy correctly implements stack dependencies, but it might benefit from additional safeguards.
Consider adding a check to prevent circular dependencies between stacks, which could cause infinite trigger loops.
examples/complete/root-modules/spacelift-automation/policies/push.default.rego (1)
13-13: Consider making tracked extensions configurable.The tracked file extensions are hardcoded, which might make it difficult to maintain or customize per stack.
Consider moving these to stack labels or environment variables for easier configuration.
examples/complete/root-modules/random-pet/stacks/common.yaml (1)
1-4: Add inline documentation for stack settings.While the configuration is correct, it would benefit from comments explaining the purpose of each setting, especially the significance of
manage_state: true.+# Stack settings control the behavior of this stack in Spacelift stack_settings: + # Enables state management for this stack manage_state: true labels: - common_labelexamples/complete/root-modules/random-pet/main.tf (1)
1-4: LGTM! Consider adding description to the resource.The configuration is clean and follows Terraform best practices. Consider adding a description using the
# Description: ...comment format above the resource to document its purpose.+ # Description: Creates a random pet name with configurable prefix and length resource "random_pet" "template" { prefix = var.prefix length = var.length }examples/complete/root-modules/network/stacks/prod.yaml (1)
1-6: LGTM! Consider adding environment tag.The stack configuration is well structured with good security practices. Consider adding an
environment: prodlabel for consistent environment tagging.stack_settings: description: Create the VPC + Subnets for the Prod environment labels: - prod_stack_specific_label + - environment:prod protect_from_deletion: true autoretry: trueexamples/complete/root-modules/network/variables.tf (1)
1-9: Add input validation and enhance descriptions.While the variables are well-typed, consider:
- Adding validation for the AWS region format
- Adding validation for the number of availability zones
- Enhancing descriptions with example values
variable "region" { type = string - description = "AWS region" + description = "AWS region (e.g., us-west-2)" + validation { + condition = can(regex("^[a-z]{2}-[a-z]+-\\d$", var.region)) + error_message = "Region must be a valid AWS region name (e.g., us-west-2)." + } } variable "availability_zones" { type = list(string) - description = "Availability zones" + description = "List of availability zones (e.g., ['us-west-2a', 'us-west-2b'])" + validation { + condition = length(var.availability_zones) > 0 + error_message = "At least one availability zone must be specified." + } }examples/complete/root-modules/random-pet/variables.tf (1)
1-9: Add validation and defaults for better usability.Consider enhancing the variables with:
- Default values for optional parameters
- Validation for the length parameter
- More descriptive documentation
variable "length" { - description = "The length of the random name" + description = "The length of the random pet name (number of words)" type = number + default = 2 + validation { + condition = var.length > 0 && var.length <= 10 + error_message = "Length must be between 1 and 10." + } } variable "prefix" { - description = "The prefix of the random name" + description = "A prefix to prepend to the random pet name (e.g., 'app' results in 'app-<random-pet>')" type = string + default = null }examples/complete/root-modules/spacelift-automation/main.tf (2)
13-14: Document the AWS integration ID's origin.While hardcoding is acceptable for single-instance setups, please add a comment explaining where to find or generate this AWS integration ID for future reference.
+ # AWS integration ID can be found in the Spacelift console under Integrations > AWS aws_integration_id = "01JEC7ZACVKHTSVY4NF8QNZVVB" aws_integration_enabled = true
21-52: Enhance policy documentation with purpose descriptions.The policy configuration is well-structured, but adding brief comments before each policy block would improve maintainability.
policies = { + # Default access policy that allows all operations "access-default" = { body = <<-EOT package spacelift default allow = true EOT type = "ACCESS" description = "Policy allowing access to resources" labels = ["team:sre", "env:dev"] } + # Administrative trigger policy for managing infrastructure changes trigger-administrative = {examples/complete/root-modules/network/main.tf (2)
10-10: Parameterize the VPC CIDR block.Consider making the CIDR block configurable via variables to support different environments and network requirements.
- ipv4_primary_cidr_block = "172.16.0.0/16" + ipv4_primary_cidr_block = var.vpc_cidr_block
23-24: Document NAT configuration decision.Add a comment explaining why NAT gateway and instance are disabled, as this affects the network's internet egress capabilities.
+ # NAT is disabled as this example doesn't require outbound internet access from private subnets nat_gateway_enabled = false nat_instance_enabled = falseexamples/complete/root-modules/spacelift-automation/stacks/common.yaml (1)
4-5: Enhance stack labels for better organization.Consider adding more descriptive labels to improve stack organization and filtering capabilities.
labels: - - common_label + - type:administrative + - scope:infrastructure + - team:platformexamples/complete/README.md (1)
45-45: Add troubleshooting section to README.Consider adding a troubleshooting section to help users resolve common issues they might encounter during setup.
Add a section like:
## Troubleshooting Common issues and their solutions: 1. Authentication failures 2. Stack creation errors 3. Policy application issues

Timestamp: 2024-12-23T04:16:47.209Z
Learning: For single-instance Spacelift automation structures, the user prefers to hardcode AWS integration ID and related settings rather than parameterizing them.
🔇 Additional comments (4)
examples/complete/root-modules/network/versions.tf (1)
1-10: LGTM! Version constraints are well defined.The version constraints are appropriately set:
- Terraform ~> 1.0 allows for compatible updates
- AWS provider ~> 5.0 ensures latest stable features while preventing breaking changes
examples/complete/root-modules/network/context.tf (1)
1-12: LGTM! Standard Cloud Posse context file.This is the standard context.tf file from Cloud Posse that shouldn't be modified directly.
main.tf (2)
124-124: Documentation accurately reflects the new directory structure!The example path has been correctly updated to use
root-modulesinstead ofcomponents, which aligns with the PR's goal of reducing confusion.
160-160: Example maintains consistency with the new naming convention!The example path has been consistently updated to use
root-modules, ensuring documentation remains synchronized throughout the file.

Just watched video, looks good! Live preview looks good on the README as well.
Something I like on Loom / or even YouTube/videos overall, is timestamps and then it'll show on the video timeline. Short video but could be something like:
0:00 - Overview & the Why
1:27 - Two main approaches to using the module (multi-instance vs single-instance)
3:43 - Example demo
I think in Loom you can just put it in the description or the summary and it'll auto populate it in the timeline.

@oycyc great callout -- updated the loom video "Chapters" section which they devote to this and that did the trick. Thanks!
