If multiple Atlantis hosts are run by utilizing a shared redis backend, then it's important that the `data-dir` is using a shared filesystem between hosts. However, if you were to lose the data, all you would need to do is run `atlantis plan` again on the pull requests that are open. If someone tries to run `atlantis apply` after the data has been lost then they will get an error back, so they will have to re-plan anyway. @@ -25,4 +25,4 @@ See `atlantis server --help` for more information. **Q: How can I get Atlantis up and running on AWS?** -A: There is [terraform-aws-atlantis](https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-atlantis) project where complete Terraform configurations for running Atlantis on AWS Fargate are hosted.
