Working in Modernisation Platform

The Analytical Platform makes use of the Modernisation Platform as a hosting solution for some of its services (e.g. analytical-platform-ingestion). As such, it is important to understand how to develop solutions effectively in this context.

Running Terraform in Modernisation Platform

In this case we will use the analytical-platform-ingestion environment.

Clone the modernisation-platform-environments repository and open it in Visual Studio Code.
Start the Dev Container. Cmd + Shift + P -> Dev Containers: Reopen in Container
Navigate to the environment you are operating in - cd terraform/environments/analytical-platform-ingestion.

To run a terraform init + terraform plan run the following command:

$ bash /workspaces/modernisation-platform-environments/scripts/member-local-plan.sh

Account: analytical-platform-ingestion
Stage: development
Role: modernisation-platform-sandbox

Please open the following URL in your browser:

https://device.sso.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/?user_code=ABCD-EFGH

Click on the link provided and authorise AWS in the browser. Return to your terminal.
You can now run this command repeatedly with a fast feedback loop to understand the changes you are making in Terraform.

Common Errors

If you run the member-local-plan.sh script and produce the error:

FATAL   Error running command: Invalid --profile analytical-platform-ingestion-development:modernisation-platform-developer

Then you need to use the -r flag in the member-local-plan.sh script:

$ bash /workspaces/modernisation-platform-environments/scripts/member-local-plan.sh -r modernisation-platform-sandbox
