Can't reliably deploy in 2024

[dantecl]

Hey folks,

I can't deploy this project using tag v2.6.0 because it has a python37 constraint, appengine barks at that. Deploying from master using python311 goes much further but has completely undocumented requirements like the terraform/k8s code that doesn't work out of the box. Do you guys have some more recent documentation to add to the project that we non-googlers could deploy to GCP?

@dantecl can you drill down on what exactly does not work out of the box, as far as K8S and Terraform go?

When I generate the config, none of the terraform code gets copied over. If I copy it manually, I have to fill out the variables file, and then the deploy process does not actually create any of the resources. I've resorted to deploying it with --target appengine to bypass the terraform stage, and most of the cronjobs in appengine fail with 404 to the cron-service service.

Re crons, they are supposed to run on Kubernetes, so it is not expected that appengine would succeed.

As far as the overall deployment goes, we have a pending project that will replace butler.py for terraform while bootstrapping the infrastructure, so I suggest you follow #3788. Since the deployment strategy will change, docs will be out once this lands.

Also, on the terraform deployment, with -target=module.clusterfuzz it does not create anything, and if I remove it, it does "Plan: 7 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy" with it trying to clobber my existing VPC, subnet and NAT gateway. I'll follow #3788 for updates, do you have any idea on timeframes?
