# Quick Start - Next Steps

**For**: Immediate action items to progress the project  
**Estimated Time**: 1-2 weeks for immediate priorities

## 🎯 This Week's Priorities

### Day 1-2: Complete Core Terraform Resources

```bash
# 1. Create AKS cluster resource
# File: infra/terraform/aks.tf
# Use: local.aks_name from locals.tf

# 2. Create Key Vault resource  
# File: infra/terraform/key-vault.tf
# Use: local.kv_name from locals.tf

# 3. Test Terraform plan
cd infra/terraform
terraform init
terraform plan
```

**Deliverable**: Terraform plan succeeds with AKS and Key Vault resources

---

### Day 3-4: Create Dockerfiles

```bash
# Start with Identity service
# File: services/identity/Dockerfile

# Test build
docker build -t test-identity -f services/identity/Dockerfile .
docker run --rm test-identity npm run test
```

**Deliverable**: At least 2 Dockerfiles created and tested

---

### Day 5: Complete Entra ID Setup

```bash
# Follow Phase 3 in deployment guide
# Then store secrets:
./scripts/deploy/store-entra-secrets.sh
```

**Deliverable**: Entra ID configured and secrets stored

./scripts/deploy/deploy.sh --phase 1
```

### Create New Resource (Template)

```bash
# 1. Add to locals.tf
# 2. Create resource file
# 3. Use local value
# 4. Test with terraform plan
```
