Now that I have all the pieces, my goal is to migrate the legacy #LDJam website data over the weekend. Changing names, emails, and recovering data from unlinked accounts will come after.
Starting next week, I need to find sponsor(s) for Ludum Dare 54 in September, because....😅 #LudumDare#Migration
I've run into a situation where I could save myself a lot of trouble if I upgraded my #PHP version.
Unfortunately that means rebuilding the server. That said, I've been meaning to experiment with #Hashicorp#Terraform. 🤔
(some time passes)
Cool! Terraform is quite nice to use. I have a reference copy of my #Linode infrastructure exported and rebuilt for reference, and a new copy I can spin-up and destroy on demand. I still need to write provisioning (install) scripts though. #LDJam
Terraform/HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) is such a beautiful programming language. It makes creating cloud infrastructure as accessible and not-scary as HTML. It should be the primary UI for every cloud provider.
Another example: If I go to create a new GCE instance in the GCP console, the Terraform it generates does not include any of the IPv6 configuration. It's included in the command line and REST equivalent code, but not the Terraform. Whhyyy??
I just saw the changes to Terraform Cloud pricing and it's really really bad. They shifted to a new model where they charge you hourly for the resources you manage. So if you control a bunch of AWS IAM Roles you now have an hourly fee for them.
It doesn't matter if you have one apply a month, you're still paying for 720 hours for each resource in that workspace.
I saw this tweet by @dberkholz (hi btw, long time no see; I hope all is well!), and I'm not sure which one of the 4 big cloud providers is being singled out. :)
I recently wrote #Terraform configurations to deploy (simple) #Kubernetes clusters on a dozen of cloud providers; and Oracle was not the worst experience - very far from it.
In fact, that exercise gave me the impression that if anything, Google and AWS just hate developers 😬
I'm looking for a back end / devops / SRE role that can hire me in Vancouver, BC (happy to do remote/hybrid)
I'm experienced and can be trusted around computers, especially ones that aren't my own.
I love #nix and functional languages (such as #clojure#elixir) and have experience with all the fancy industry standard tools (#terraform#kuberenetes#docker#ansible) as well as with all the other things expected of my role (cloud providers, CI/CD, IaC, networking, postgres)
First part of a new long term home project coming in. An #Ubiquiti PoE+ switch to power a small #Kubernetes cluster built using #raspberrypi nodes. Going to blog about every step once it has been completed. But it is going to be a few quarters long project doing bit by bit
#geerlingguy After this wipe of the cluster was done, and all nodes were back up. It took 15 minutes for #terraform to reprovision every service running on the cluster: https://t.co/cfnhZvXfAo
Ok, this might look like exactly the same thing as the previous tweet. But this time for my current #Kubernetes cluster #Terraform crafted the kubeconfig that was used to do the deployment. Refs: https://t.co/CYBqnPqQFb
I want to build labs that a learner can spin up from a front facing website. I believe I need to learn Terraform to spin these up and collapse when done. Where do I start? #infrastructure#terraform#infrastructureascode#vmware
