As STACKIT environments scale across development, staging, and production boundaries, standard IaC configurations can become redundant. IaC Orchestration ensures configurations remain DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) while managing complex deployment dependencies.

## Orchestration Standard

- **Terragrunt**: Wraps standard Terraform or OpenTofu commands to provide advanced remote state management, module execution dependencies, and hierarchical variable inheritance for STACKIT projects.

## Implementation Architecture

<Steps>

1. Restructure your existing STACKIT Terraform modules into reusable backend components.

2. Create a hierarchical folder structure (`dev`, `stage`, `prod`) driven by `terragrunt.hcl` files.

3. Utilize Terragrunt to orchestrate the sequential deployment of STACKIT networks, followed by SKE
   clusters, and finally managed databases.
