OpenTofu is an Open Source, community-backed fork of Terraform launched in 2023 to address HashiCorp's license change. Today, it is not only maintained as a vendor-neutral project but also offers several new features that might be helpful for any engineer following the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) a..

This blog post is a guide to creating Terraform modules to manage your infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Here's a breakdown of the key points:

Introduction to IaC: IaC treats infrastructure like any other code, allowing for version control, collaboration, and automation through tools like Terraform.

Benefits of Terraform Modules: Terraform modules help you reuse infrastructure configurations across projects, improve code maintainability by encapsulating complex configurations, and enable collaboration by sharing modules within your team or publicly.

Creating a Basic Terraform Configuration: The blog walks you through building a Terraform configuration file to provision a basic EC2 instance.

Converting Code to a Module: You'll learn how to transform your EC2 instance code into a reusable Terraform module.

Version Control and Infrastructure Environments: The importance of using Git for version control and managing separate module versions for different environments (development, staging, production) is discussed.

Terraform Registry: The blog introduces the Terraform Registry, a central repository for sharing and discovering Terraform modules.

By following these steps and embracing IaC principles, you can achieve more efficient and automated infrastructure management.

Learn how we streamlined our NRQL alert setup process by adopting Terraform and the problems we tackled to enhance the scope of alerts.

IaC scanning tools are crucial to engineering your platform’s code securely and following your organization’s compliance and best practices by creating and enforcing the rules, through code allowing you to automate and integrate these into your software development lifecycle (SLDC).A good engineerin..

Today we will be looking at how to manage Docker containers on W10 using Terraform the IAC tool.

Gitlab Ci is gaining traction in both the Hosted and Cloud-Hosted versions because it is tackling one of the “DevOps” challenges, nr of tools used across the different Software Development teams by offering a single solution with many tools such as SCM; CI/CD or GitOps; ticketing; analytics; securit..

It is safe to say that it’s a future-proof move for your career to understand more about cloud technologies.

Selecting the right infrastructure as code (IaC) framework depends largely on your needs and the comfort levels of your team but can have a significant impact on your cloud-native tech stack. When looking at two common IaC frameworks—Terraform by HashiCorp and Amazon CloudFormation—there are a lot of opinions for and against each.

If you have a static website and you want a simple solution, S3 and Cloudfront are great choices. Also, we will get an SSL certificate for our domain and it will be free.

For a recent personal project of mine, I needed to quickly and easily redirect and track user traffic to a serverless website I hosted in AWS.
