Rover Ignite

Introduction to rover ignite

We know that creating a coherent stack of configuration files for an organization can be error-prone. Rover ignite is an iterative tool to get you started with various configurations and creates for you the set of files needed to deploy a complete environment.

Overview

Rover ignite commands will take the templated configuration files, and will generate for you the different elements according to your settings, including the readme files.

Languages

Rover ignite is ingesting YAML files as templates that will generate both the tfvars files, readme and soon pipelines.
