Run your own #kubernetes cluster on #raspberrypi's they said, it will be fun they said. So now once every blue moon there is a leader change in the middle of a #terraform apply 🤣
I found the borders between what should be part of IaC and what should be a service deployment operations to be somewhat blurred yet.
Although I think containers are probably here to stay (in likely a even more "invisible" format), the whole orchestration system is too complex and still looking for itself, just like serverless.
"At Snyk, we are big fans of Open Policy Agent’s Rego. Snyk IaC is built around a large set of rules written in Rego, and customers can add their own custom rules as well.
[...] in this blog post, we’re taking a technical dive into a particularly interesting feature — automatic source code locations for rule violations."
@jaspervdj's OPA blogs are always fantastic, and this one was no exception. Check it out!

«El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) prevé lanzar al espacio este viernes el primer satélite canario que bajo la denominación ALISIOS-1, que orbitará la tierra con el fin de ayudar a elaborar planes de prevención y actuación frente a catástrofes naturales».
@nixCraft the devops version is when there are loads of test environments but no environment to test out devops stuff like IaC and pipelines. If there is one thing I’ve learned from devops work it is that dev is production to devs. Every env is production for someone’s job. #devops#iac#testing
#OpenTF fork code is finally public. it's pre-alpha, but already has 465 stars, 13 forks and most importantly, 14 contributors. and MPL!

Well.... infrastructure as code is all fun and games. Until someone (not me) decide to push stuff to production on a sunday. And all hell breaks loose as the new configs was not validated and tested.
Don't #deploy on #sundays people. Your on-call person just want to chill and play games. Not fix your broken shit.
As one of the loudest complainers in the United States, if not globally, about SSO being withheld as a security feature by SaaS products until some ridiculously expensive tier of service is purchased - it is important to call out when companies get it right.
So, HashiCorp - thank you for making SSO a part of the new free tier for Terraform cloud. Whomever internally convinced you to do this should be promoted immediately to CEO and given a house. Everyone go and sign up for Terraform cloud to show them some love.
