Document K3s and Flux infrastructure migration - #39
Conversation
- Replace AKS-era guidance with the Terraform, Ansible, K3s, and Flux setup - Add node provisioning, GitOps, and encrypted backup documentation - Update access, storage, monitoring, CI/CD, and app deployment guides
WalkthroughThe infrastructure documentation now describes production on a single Azure VM running K3s. It updates Terraform, node access, Flux deployment, secret management, storage, backup, and monitoring guidance to match that environment. ChangesK3s infrastructure documentation
Priority: ⬇️ Low Change: Other Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new guides contain mismatches that can disrupt automatic image updates and infrastructure operations, and leave important backup-recovery steps unclear. Resolve these documentation gaps before relying on the guides for deployment or recovery. Pre-merge checks |

Review comments at @docs/infrastructure/02-getting-started/pipelines/ci.md:
- Line 10: Update the `test.yml` description in the CI pipelines documentation
to say it runs on pushes to `main` and on pull requests, rather than on every
push.
Review comments at @docs/infrastructure/02-getting-started/setup.md:
- Line 76: Update the Azure CLI link text in the setup instructions, replacing
“here” with descriptive text such as “Azure CLI installation instructions” so
the destination is clear out of context.
Review comments at @docs/infrastructure/03-Guides/add-a-new-secret.md:
- Line 66: Update the comment beside deletionPolicy in the add-a-new-secret
example to clarify that Retain keeps the target Secret when the provider secret
is deleted, not when Key Vault is unreachable.
Review comments at @docs/infrastructure/03-Guides/add-storage.md:
- Around line 25-26: Update the storage guide’s `ReadWriteOnce` warning to
clarify that access is limited to one node, not one pod; multiple pods on that
node may mount and write concurrently, so require application-level coordination
to prevent concurrent writers.
Review comments at @docs/infrastructure/03-Guides/backups.md:
- Around line 117-118: Set a restrictive umask before the backup-age-identity
output file is created by the az keyvault secret show command, so the decryption
key is not readable by other local users.
Review comments at @docs/infrastructure/03-Guides/deploy-a-new-app.md:
- Around line 339-340: Update the pause guidance for ResourceSet-generated
Kustomizations to explain how to apply the `fluxcd.controlplane.io/reconcile:
disabled` annotation or use a declarative pause procedure so the pause persists;
qualify the suspension tip accordingly. In
docs/infrastructure/03-Guides/deploy-a-new-app.md, change lines 339-340; in
docs/infrastructure/02-getting-started/cloud-infrastructure/03-flux.md, change
lines 139-140 to qualify the suspension guidance for generated Kustomizations.

environments/legacyand its separate state. Clarify that the statement applies only to the current K3s production root.Suggested fix
