Provisioning infrastructure

An AWS environment is set up with CI/CD by this repo using Github Actions.
One EKS cluster is provisioned in my personal account that has a running deployment with the latest version of this image.
Every push on main branch triggers two pipelines that ensures all terraform and kubernetes resources are in sync with that AWS environment.

It's possible to provision all the resources on your own account. You'll need to have aws-cli configured with Admin access to your account. There's a suggested make infra-seed-ci-user, which creates an user called github with PowerUserAccess and prints it's AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. Those can be stored as secrets in Github Action's pipeline so it can operate in the provided AWS account.
Override the backend state bucket during terraform init -backend-config='bucket=<yourAccountId>-tfstate'.
