Retrospective for the Sprint

What worked, want didn't work, are what are you going to do differently?

What worked?

• We were able to setup the provisioning pipeline.
• Github actions now trigger terraform scripts, ansible playbooks and deploys application

What didn't work:

• Terraform state got out of sync when instance was manually updated
• We faced issues with setting up SSH Keys in Terraform and passing it on to Ansible

What will we do differently:

• We lagged in managing the task dependencies.
  • For example, Dockerizing app (https://github.ncsu.edu/Devops-Terraform-Coffee/coffee-project-devops/issues/23) was done after Terraform was able to run Ansible scripts (https://github.ncsu.edu/Devops-Terraform-Coffee/coffee-project-devops/issues/16)
• Assigning priorities to issues - We didn't assign priorities to issues in the previous sprint, this time we aim to streamline the tasks by assigning proper priority and add dependency in the issue where needed.
