Advanced K8S with FluxCD 5: Introduction to Terragrunt

In this lesson we will improve our infrastructure as code project by learning about a tiny wrapper around Terraform/OpenTofu that is called Terragrunt. It's better to split IAC Project to small states and Terragrunt will help us achieve that while avoiding the need to repeating provider configurations, avoid DRY violation of remote state configurations, help us not repeat ourselves in those repeating variable declarations, and help us manage the dependencies between those small modules.
