@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) I have a spacelift stack (super generic one) that uses a simple module to create an s3 bucket. Then I added atmos.yaml and stack yaml files from example/tutorial. Spacelift seems to understand there is a stack to create. However, the s3 module code to create the bucket does not seem to get invoked. Is there something needed (in either spacelift or my code) to invoke "atmos terraform plan..." or similar? I'm having trouble understanding how the s3 module code will get invoked.

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) after I create this and run the container I should be able to "atmos version", correct? I get "atmos: command not found". Seems odd but could you just confirm it's working for you?

I now have spacelift pointed at this repo
https://github.com/dfreeman-cricut/cautious-octo-robot
copied from
https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/tree/master/examples/complete

with a working "atmos" image (atop geodesic)

and can run a spacelift "Task" such as
atmos terraform plan infra/vpc -s tenant1-ue2-dev

and see output like it would be ready to produce the requested terraform artifacts

Question: What else is needed now to get spacelift to recognize these state changes and permit me to "Confirm" and "Apply"?

Had a terrific demo to my team with spacelift and cloudposse's terraform modules/approach. Truly appreciate the help in this group; we'll be in touch!
