single account setup

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to somehow use reference architecture in one account?
Essentially, we need to set up just one prod account, without anything else, with just the vpc, IAM and a EKS cluster

So we're currently in the middle of a large refactor to split apart our components similar to modules. With that and some newer features in atmos, I would say that will be easy to do. Until that finishes, I'd say it could be done but not without some caveats.

Basically, it sounds like you just want a root account that acts like plat-prod. I think the bare minimum to get refarch running without much changes is two accounts... identity and root. You can still munge identity into prod, but it will be pretty tedious.

If you can get away with three accounts, core-root, core-identity, and plat-prod, then it wouldn't be as painful in my opinion. But otherwise it's best to run your own architecture, picking your own components.

You describe wanting VPC, IAM, and EKS? Really, might be fine just using the modules directly. If you use the components as a way to implement them, but replace provider.tf and remote-state.tf with your own variables for authorization and variables, you ought to get pretty far.

I hope this makes sense, and if you have more questions about those modules, feel free to ask.
