Getting Started

This section provides instructions to get started with Seed-Farmer and be ready to deploy an application.

Seed-Farmer can run on local compute and on compute within a CI/CD pipeline -- the setup requirements are the same.

  • Installation - Seed-Farmer needs to be installed where the CLI will be invoked. It is a one-time event for new compute resources.

  • Bootstrapping - the steps necessary to prepare your AWS Accounts to use Seed-Farmer. It is a one-time event for each AWS account to be used for deploying AWS Resources.

Seed-Farmer uses a toolchain account and a target account. Though named as account, these are region-specific in context: the toolchain account and target account store their data in their designated region, respectively.

The most basic setup is to configure your toolchain account and target account to be the same. This is a simple representation of the account / region setup. The Bootstrapping guide will follow this setup.

Please review the Concepts in detail.
