The EDU code uses a series of scripts to set up infrastructure inside of Snowflake; we intend to have this code managed by Terraform in a future release. The code creates 4 databases and sets up default roles for management of the system. A description of the role definitions and hierarchy available by default is available in the management doc...
Setup currently requires familiarity with cloud services in AWS & Snowflake. You need to have an AWS account and a Snowflake account. Setup then involves using CloudFormation to set up the AWS infrastructure and running SQL queries to set up the Snowflake infrastructure. We also cover general security of the cloud environments in this section...
The concepts and abstractions in the codebase allow for it to be implemented in many different technology stacks, but for now implementing the published code requires an AWS environment and a Snowflake database. We intend to add support for more cloud providers and databases over time.
