 cluster on EKS for GOV.UK.

- `.github/`: GitHub Actions and workflows used by other GOV.UK
 repos, for example release automation, test runners and security analysis
 tools.
### What's not in this repo
Helm charts for GOV.UK applications are in alphagov/govuk-helm-charts.
Base image definitions for GOV.UK Ruby apps are in alphagov/govuk-ruby-images.
Configuration of CDN services is stored in alphagov/govuk-fastly and alphagov/govuk-fastly-secrets (private) repos.
Configuration of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) projects used for internal analytics is stored in alphagov/govuk-data-infrastructure.

## Usage
To install the compatible version of Terraform:
 [code] 
We set the constraints with minor version precision. However when using this Terraform version manager, you need to specify the patch version, e.g. `tfenv install 1.10.5`.
## Pre-commit hooks
We have some recommended pre-commit hooks. You need
to install `pre-commit` for these to run.
## Documentation
See the `docs/` directory.
There are also docs in the `terraform/docs/` directory and inline in READMEs in some directories.
## Documentation linting
This repository uses Vale to lint our written English prose. Vale applies a variety of rules and
heuristics, such as avoiding overly long sentences and not using the passive voice, as well as doing spelling and grammar
checks.
To run the documentation linting locally, run

### Resolving common issues with Vale
When using Vale, you will come across a number of common issues and scenarios. Documented here are the scenarios and
how to handle them
#### Vale says a product name or a plural acronym is an incorrect spelling
Vale uses an open source dictionary to spell check our work. It does not know about proper nouns, and will frequently
ask if you meant to spell it that way. If you are confident that you are right, there are two steps to take
1. Add the word to the vocabulary file in alphabetical order `.vale/styles/config/vocabularies/PlatformEngineering/accept.txt`.
 You can use limited regular expressions such as `foos?` to match both `foo` and `foos` in a single entry.
2. If the word is the name of a product, add it the `PlatformEngineering.ProductNames` rule in
 `.vale/styles/PlatformEngineering/ProductNames.yml`. This Vale rule enforces us using the correct spelling of a product
 name by matching common or potential misspellings using regular expressions, and suggesting the correct spelling. Using
 the AWS service CloudWatch as an example, common misspellings include `cloudwatch`, `Cloudwatch`, and `Cloud watch`.
 To match all of these
