How to add a new AWS account using DevOps foundations

[ivansamartino]

Hi there,

I am struggling to understand what is the correct mechanism to create a new AWS account using the account-factory.yml pipeline provided in the initial bootstrap of the infrastructure-live-root repository.

I am following this docs . The first problem is that the only input to the Account Factory workflow is the json that should be generated the html utility page provided in .github/workflows/account-factory-inputs.html.

When I run the workflow just passing the input json, the workflow fails because certain environment variables are not set or at least need to be replaced with some proper value

I have updated these with some values that make sense, but the very next run, the whole pipeline fails because there are some missing dependencies in the GitHub runner environment, such as yq

What is the proper procedure to generate a new AWS account?

I think this could be related with the ubuntu-latest not having the yq binary installed. I guess it is a bug on the Github runner side
