Configure Services

The configuration of services for your deployment will occur almost entirely in the deploy/group_vars/all.yaml file.

(all.yaml) Global configuration

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Global: CloudFormation stack outputs. See all.yml for stack parameters.

ClusterEndpoint: <ClusterEndpoint from CloudFormation output>
DatabaseAddress: <DatabaseAddress from CloudFormation output>  # The connection endpoint for the database. -
RepositoryURL: <DIGITS>.dkr.ecr.<ACCOUNT_REGION>.amazonaws.com  # The docker repository URL

The output for RepositoryURL is in two parts the first part is up to the first /. Copy that into RepositoryURL. The second part goes in k8s_container_image under App Pod Configuration

(k8s.yaml) Shared Environment Variables

Shared variables is a section in the k8s.yaml file where you can configure some items that would most likely be shared between all of your environments.

Variables in this section are also prefixed with env_, this usually indicates that they will be used by Django or something else in the app.
