📍 Where I Left Off

  • Working on: Need to fix issue with AWS deployment security hardening playbook | Need to restructure I want each module in its own dir with its own tasks, templates, files and I want to move Provider playbooks into a Provider dir. I also want to break apart deploy.py and take each part for a module and make its own script that can be ran independently of the deploy script to just deploy the that module if need be
