Adds a stackit/ root module deploying GoodData.CN onto STACKIT Kubernetes Engine, at parity with azure/ minus image caching. Fourth cloud alongside aws/, azure/ and local/.

Shape

  • SKE cluster with a reserved system pool (CriticalAddonsOnly taint) and an autoscaling workload pool. SKE has no Karpenter provider, so capacity comes from node-pool min/max bounds that SKE's own cluster autoscaler scales between — machine_type is the sizing lever and is user-overridable, unlike Azure's system pool VM size.
  • PostgreSQL Flex, either inside a STACKIT Network Area or on a public endpoint ACL'd to the cluster's egress ranges.
  • Object Storage for GoodData.CN and for Loki/Tempo, on separate credentials groups so each consumer's keys rotate independently.
  • Optional STACKIT DNS via SKE's DNS extension (managed externalDNS) — no self-hosted external-dns release, so this is ~150 lines less than the Azure equivalent.
  • SKE ships its storage classes, metrics-server and the yawol load balancer, so none of those are installed.

Shared module changes

gdcn-local.yaml.tftpl becomes a generic-S3 values file parameterised by scheme, shared by the local and STACKIT installs, with the k3d-only loopback and self-signed-cert settings split into their own overlay. Verified behaviour-preserving: rendering both new templates with scheme=http and parsing as YAML reproduces the old file exactly, with disjoint top-level keys.

variable "cloud" gains a validation. Without it an unlisted value silently drops that cloud's object-storage values file from the compact([...]) list, so the release applies green while GoodData.CN quietly falls back to chart defaults with no backing store.

Not supported on STACKIT

Image caching — STACKIT's Container Registry has no Terraform resources. enable_image_cache is declared but validated to stay false, and registry_dockerio/registry_quayio/registry_k8sio point upstream and can be aimed at a mirror. Note this means Docker Hub anonymous pull limits apply.

AI Lake stays AWS-only; the variable is deliberately not declared here so a stray tfvars entry is rejected rather than half-deploying StarRocks into a 30-minute timeout.

Verification

  • terraform fmt -recursive clean; terraform validate passes in aws/, local/ and stackit/.
  • terraform plan on stackit/ evaluates every variable validation, local and output, reaching provider authentication (fails only for lack of credentials here).
  • All guardrails exercised negatively: AZ/region mismatch, enable_image_cache = true, prod-xl, and a hostname outside the DNS zone each fail as intended.
  • Variable ordering checked programmatically against the repo's alphabetical rule.

azure/ currently fails terraform validate on a fresh init, and that is pre-existing and unrelated to this PR — azurerm = ">= 4.0" now resolves to 5.0.1, which renamed azurerm_private_dns_zone_virtual_network_link's arguments. Nothing here touches azure/. Worth a separate fix (pin ~> 4.0, or migrate to the v5 schema).

Review pass

A multi-agent review found and fixed a config-breaking bug before this was opened: network.acl was left null under the default stackit_private_networking = true, but the provider requires exactly one of acl / network.acl, so the default configuration was rejected outright. terraform validate and terraform plan both missed it because the value came from a variable and the ExactlyOneOf validator defers while any input is unknown — reproduced with literals, fixed, and re-confirmed.

Also corrected in the same pass: all three PostgreSQL flavor IDs were invalid (only 2.4, 2.16, 4.8, 4.32, 8.16, 16.32, 16.128 exist, with -replica for 3-node); kubectl config view --flatten was inlining other clusters' key material into the user's kubeconfig, and the merge order made a re-run after expiry a no-op; and a comment overclaimed credential isolation that project-scoped credentials groups cannot provide.

Known limitations

  • STACKIT Object Storage refuses to delete a non-empty bucket, so buckets must be emptied before terraform destroy (noted in the README and in storage.tf).
  • Machine types (g2a.*d) and the chosen flavor shapes are the nearest available to the Azure profiles; they need one apply against a real project to confirm, as do the CriticalAddonsOnly taint on Gardener's system components and whether extensions.dns accepts a custom zone.
  • The prod-small workload pool minimum of 2 is likely a node short of steady-state demand (~16 vCPU / ~65 GiB of requests against ~29 GiB allocatable per g2a.8d). The autoscaler corrects it on Pending pods, so it self-heals, but 3 would be a more honest floor.

    • Development environments can install and validate the STACKIT CLI.

Adds a `stackit/` root module deploying GoodData.CN onto STACKIT Kubernetes
Engine, at parity with `azure/` minus image caching.

- SKE cluster with a reserved system pool and an autoscaling workload pool.
  SKE has no Karpenter provider, so capacity comes from node-pool min/max
  bounds that SKE's own cluster autoscaler scales between; machine_type is
  the sizing lever and is user-overridable.
- PostgreSQL Flex, with SNA private networking or a public endpoint ACL'd to
  the cluster's egress ranges.
- Object Storage for GoodData.CN and observability, on separate credentials
  groups so a leaked observability key cannot reach GoodData.CN data.
- Optional STACKIT DNS via SKE's DNS extension (managed externalDNS), so
  there is no self-hosted external-dns release.
- SKE ships its storage classes, metrics-server and the yawol load balancer,
  so there is nothing to install for those.

Shared module changes: gdcn-local.yaml.tftpl becomes a generic-S3 values
file parameterised by scheme, shared by the local and STACKIT installs, with
the k3d-only loopback and self-signed-cert settings split into their own
overlay. `cloud` gains a validation, since an unlisted value silently drops
the object-storage values file from the release.

Image caching is unsupported on STACKIT: its Container Registry has no
Terraform resources. The registry_* variables point upstream and can be
aimed at a mirror.

operations, and register a trap to remove it on exit. Preserve the existing
dependency-fix fallback behavior.

In `@stackit/variables.tf`:
- Line 305: Update the ACL CIDR variable validation and its interaction with
stackit_private_networking so at least one allowed CIDR is required whenever
public networking is enabled, preventing stackit/ske.tf from omitting the ACL
extension; preserve private-networking behavior, and use a separate explicit
opt-in variable if unrestricted public access must remain supported.

Comment thread .devcontainer/setup.sh Outdated
Comment thread stackit/variables.tf
- Download the STACKIT CLI package to an mktemp path rather than a fixed
  /tmp name. dpkg runs under sudo, so a pre-created file or symlink there
  would let a local process choose what gets installed.
- Require ske_api_server_authorized_ip_ranges when stackit_private_networking
  is false. That combination puts the control plane on the internet, and the
  empty default silently applied no ACL at all. "0.0.0.0/0" remains available
  as an explicit opt-in.
