Whirlwind Platform Architecture

Cross-repo architecture and change orchestration across the Whirlwind platform (Terragrunt control plane, Terraform infrastructure, networking DNS, and Ansible config). Use when designing or implementing platform-wide changes that span multiple repos.

Overview

Coordinate changes that span the full Whirlwind stack across Terragrunt, Terraform infrastructure, networking DNS, and Ansible configuration.

Cross-repo workflow

Define the change goal and the impacted runtime surface.
Map the change to repos using references/cross-repo-map.md.
Identify required contracts (DNS-01, SSM parameters, secrets, IAM roles).
Sequence the changes so shared networking and infrastructure land before configuration.
Validate with targeted applies and one environment before scaling out.

Common change patterns

DNS-01 or hosted zone changes: update networking module, then Terragrunt stacks, then workloads.
Ansible pipeline changes: update Terraform infra CI/CD, then Ansible repo variables and scripts.
Compute changes (ASG or NLB): update Terraform infra modules, then Terragrunt wiring, then Ansible inventory strategy.
