When managing cloud infrastructures at scale, you may want to keep your environments (for e.g. QA, staging, prod...) close to each other.
You can achieve this by synchronizing a architecture across multiple environments, which means that any modification you do on one environment will be automatically replicated/synchronized with all synced envs except the values of the variables that are supposed to be specific to each env.
This allows you to maintain a consistent infrastructure across all your development, testing, and production environments.
Create a synced environments
Here are the steps you can follow to implement environment sync in Brainboard:
Create the design and Terraform configuration for a specific architecture within a specific environment, for example dev.
Go to the project selector and select hover the architecture that you want to sync and click on the clone button:
- Follow the steps below
- Add the target environment where you want to clone your architecture. For example QA.
- Choose a new name for the architecture
- Click on the sync button to keep the source and destination architecture synced
- Apply the changes by clicking on next
View synced environments
Once the architecture is synced, you see a new button in the options bar to indicate that:
When you click on the sync button you can see all synchronized environments for this architecture.
Un-sync environment
To un-sync a specific architecture or environment, click on the sync button available in the options bar, then click on the Unsync architecture to unlink it from the synchronized environments.
