#general - February 2026

Hey, I'm Geronimo and trying to get some pointers as I want to get to where you guys are at, I saw a lot of people (in other forums) mention NET+, CCNA, AWS and Azure certs, how much pull do these certifications really have, I'm just starting my university studies as a network and software technician which gives me a degree for my country, and I'm looking at some side things to catapult myself into the DevOps field, I'd really appreciate it if you guys give me some pointers on this as you guys are where I wanna be in 2-3 years!

Hi folks, I'm Luka, nice to e meet everyone. I work in the kubernetes field, especially on observability and management

Hey Everyone, i'm Gboyega (G is silent) just curious how your teams handle IaC drift when auto-remediation kicks in. For example, AWS Config or Security Hub fixes a non-compliant resource (like enabling S3 encryption), but now your Terraform state is out of sync with reality. How do you deal with that? Manual terraform import and state surgery? Just ignore it until the next plan? Something else? Trying to understand how common this is and how painful it actually gets at scale. Would love to hear war stories.

hi

Hrmmm these channel join notifications are new; not sure what changed. I think we should disable them.

Hello all. I have a question that spans a few areas, so dropping it here. Please let me know if there's a channel that's better suited to the discussion. We have a project that uses Atmos to define the infrastructure and we have github actions applying the changes when merging into the main branch. Using the Cloud Posse actions to drive the process. Normally everything runs fantastic. But we do have issues with our rds components sometimes. They'll fail the plan diff check on latest_restorable_time. I know what the underlying issue is, that it's a computed value coming back on the terraform module. And I saw the recent skip plandiff change and I know that's an option. I was actually going to hack something together on my own to only skip plandiff in certain circumstances. It seems like a pretty general problem though, and I was surprised I didn't see people talking about it. Did I miss some obvious other way to deal with this?
