What format do you use for internal DevOps run books? or IaC guidelines within your team? and how do you consume/share them?

❓️ I'll look through archives, but if anyone has a go to guide for argo rollouts and how you designed your workflow would love to do some reading.... Seems similar to terraform that lots of ways to do stuff, so the surrounding setup being setup correctly can have a big impact on the experience for folks..... 🧵

Hi everyone,
I’m working on a book project about a developer who becomes their team's hero when they’re unexpectedly thrust into managing cloud infrastructure. The story follows how they tackle the chaos of maintaining AWS with Terraform after their company’s DevOps engineer leaves and discover Pulumi as the solution to empower their team with a self-service, developer-friendly approach to infrastructure.
Throughout the journey, the developer faces real-world challenges like managing Pulumi state files, breaking infrastructure into reusable Python modules, setting up GitLab CI/CD pipelines, and even exploring Azure for multi-cloud solutions. By the end, they’ve transformed the company’s infrastructure and themselves—proving that developers can step up and lead the way in cloud infrastructure.
Since I’ve had so many great conversations with you all here, I wanted to ask for your input on a couple of things:
Would you read a book like this? Does it sound interesting or useful to you?
• What do you think of this outline?
It mixes technical content with a narrative of a developer's journey, covering:
▪︎ Transitioning from Terraform to Pulumi.
▪︎ Writing reusable Python modules for AWS and Azure resources.
▪︎ Managing Pulumi state files and YAML configurations.
▪︎ Automating infrastructure with GitLab CI/CD.
▪︎ Exploring multi-cloud strategies with AWS and Azure.
◦ The goal is to make it approachable for developers at all levels and practical enough to apply directly to their work.
I’ve also narrowed down a few potential titles and would love your feedback on which one you like best:
1. The Infrastructure Adventurer: A Hero’s Tale of Modern Cloud Solutions
2. From Chaos to Cloud: A Developer’s Epic Journey with Pulumi
3. When DevOps Left: A Pulumi Story
4. Self-Service and Service: A Pulumi Journey for Developers
5. The Pulumi Quest: A Hero’s Guide to Self-Service Cloud Infrastructure
Which title resonates most with you? Or, if you have other ideas, feel free to share them!
Thanks so much for taking the time to help. Your feedback really means a lot, and it’ll help shape the direction of this project.
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

We're considering moving to Grafana Cloud on the Advanced plan. I've heard that their pricing is ridiculous, but looking at their pricing page I'm wondering if that's changed recently? Maybe it's only on the "contact us for enterprise pricing" tier? Has anyone used their advanced plan that can share any experiences/thoughts?

Hi everyone,
I hope you're all doing well! I’m currently looking to gain more hands-on experience in the DevOps and cloud space. If anyone knows of any volunteering opportunities or projects where I could contribute, I’d love to get involved and collaborate with the community. Feel free to reach out if you have any leads or suggestions!
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Srinidhi
