I'm going for a long weekend in Amsterdam soon. I was not planning on bringing my book with me so this ChatGPT-rendered image is a great substitute.

#Terraform Authoring and Operations Professional Study Guide goes Tokyo

ChatGPT butchered the book a tiny bit, but overall very nice rendition of the typical reader of my book! #terraform

I once (by accident) wrote "Dead <name>," as the first line in an email. A week later the person I sent the email to passed away after a short period of illness. Needless to say I am still haunted by this til this day. Maybe having an AI write the boilerplate parts of an email is not so bad?

I've published a course for the #Terraform associate certification on #Leanpub! It's 90% done, and available at a reduced minimum price until I consider it to be 100% complete. A few illustrations, quizzes and general polishing left to complete! leanpub.com/c/terraform-...

Things that you commit to git tends to stay in the git history, even if you remove the file afterwards. Although it is possible to clean up your git history, it's a good idea is to keep unintended files out from git to begin with. Use .gitignore for this www.env0.com/blog/gitigno... #env0 #git

There is no better time to read and learn #Terraform than during the upcoming weeks before the end of the year! Prepare for the exam and pass it in 2025! Get the study guide here leanpub.com/terraform-pr...

What is a good format for a printed technical book? I mean physical format, size-wise. I published my first book in A4 format to easily fit code samples and output and stuff. However, that is not the most common format for printed books. Is "US Trade 6x9 inch" the common format?

In my latest blog post on #Spacelift I write about #DevOps #Security Read it here spacelift.io/blog/devops-...

I'm preparing a course for the #Terraform associate certification. It will be published on #Leanpub. Currently, it is somewhere between 30%-40% complete. It is progressing in a semi-quick pace! Register interest in the course and be notified when it is released here ➡️ leanpub.com/c/terraform-...

In #Terraform 1.10 the element function now accepts negative indices. Unappreciated update perhaps! What is the element function for, anyway? One use case is to spread a number of subnets across availability zones, or virtual machines across subnets. Let me know if you think of more use cases!

Terraform 1.10 is out, and along with it the concept of ephemeral resources mattias.engineer/blog/2024/te... #terraform #blog

Diving deep into the #Terraform element function with @spacelift.bsky.social in my latest blog post spacelift.io/blog/terrafo... Heads-up: there will be a small update to this function in Terraform 1.10 I believe (it will accept negative indices) #iac #spacelift

I like uigradients.com, it's the perfect site to find nice colored gradients to use as header image on #LinkedIn or #Bluesky or somewhere else. You're welcome!

Should I be worried? #InvalidHandle

I had a 30-minute presentation on the #Terraform #Test Framework at a meetup today. Note to future self: 30 minutes is by far NOT enough time to cover background on IaC/Terraform + the test framework with live demos 😅 I had to cut the majority of the live demo, which was unfortunate.

Name the infrastructure-as-code product that you think of when watching this #Steam icon?

Watching this reaction video by @marktinderholt.com I have VERY bad experiences from watching reaction videos in the past, they're generally aimed at a generation much younger than me - but the format of this one by Mark is very good and filled with great insights! www.youtube.com/watch?v=chwC...

I'm a big fan of #Terraform, but I'm also aware that some tools may be a better fit in certain contexts. It is not really possible to say that "Tool-X is best, end of story" Tool-X might be best in Context-A, but in Context-B something else might make more sense. Use the best tool for the job!

#HashiTalks 2025 is now accepting proposals for presentations! If you're a user of @hashicorp.bsky.social stuff and want to talk about it, here's your chance! And if you're nervous about live presentations, there is a pre-recorded option too. 📄 sessionize.com/hashitalks-2...

Thanks #HashiCorp for driving a lot of traffic to my blog! 🙏

#HashiCorp #Sentinel is a tool for #policy-as-code. It is not as popular and widespread as #OPA, but I think the language is easier to understand and learn. A while back I wrote a deep-dive on how to get started with Sentinel: mattias.engineer/blog/2024/ha...
