#refarch - October 2024

Do you recommend using Helmfile via ArgoCD for app deployments to EKS? Are there advantages to this approach rather than using Kustomize? (It it that it's easier to spin up preview environments via Helmfile?)

I have used the reference architecture to setup a transit gateway to connect 2 VPCs in different accounts.
However, I am having trouble understanding how the transit gateway offers a connection to the internet. Is that not a part of the reference architecture and is something we should setup separately on our own?
If so, how can this be achieved?

There is a line in the reference architecture VPC section that states this

# Use PrivateLink in private-only VPCs at least until we have
# a connection to the internet via Transit Gateway.

So ideally, transit gateway setup should provide connection to the internet right?

hi @Dan Miller (tembo) - I'd like to use the alb component to set up a 301 redirect. ex:
<http://test.example.com|test.example.com> should redirect to <http://app.example.com|app.example.com>
I can do this in the console, but I can't figure out the syntax using the ALB component (https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-components/tree/main/modules/alb )

Is this possible to do with the current reference architecture?
