If there are any other Vim fans out there, I wrote a little article on configuring autocompletion for Terraform if anyone is interested!

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) (and office hours) inspired me to write a tool that ingests the latest trends in the cybersecurity and cloud technologies from Reddit and a few RSS feeds, outputting the information to markdown files, a basic web app, and even the terminal. I would love to incorporate some AI with the tool to trim down the content and extract the most exciting and impactful news, but here is the first iteration, and I hope it provides some benefits!

I made a version of my TLD flyover script that iterates the top 1000 (depends on input list) subdomains. May be useful to anyone doing any sort of investigatory work against a web property.

how’s everyone handling AMIs these days? We use karpenter, and would like to leverage the drift detection feature for seamless patching (seems to work well) , but historically we’ve used a TF managed image builder pipeline to spit out new AMIs on a scheduled basis with our bootstrapping apps and then karpenter picks up the new AMIs via a tf data source lookup. It’s not that efficient

Hello, help a noob out, I’ve been trying to get my head around trunk based development, and I don’t get what’s the perspective of a QA developing new end to end tests for a particular feature in that model, how are devs coordinating with QAs so that feature doesn’t pass without getting properly tested ? If the project is complex for the QAs to run locally they might need a qa environment so they can test their end to end tests right ?

What tool do you recommend for Database Performance Monitoring?

Hey folks, has anyone inquired about or bought a Teleport enterprise license? What pricing can be expected compared to the team version?

Hi Everyone! We’ve built a container orchestration / infra management platform to simplify DevOps and that can replace tools like K8s, Heroku, etc. We know it's bold, but i'd be happy to chat more or show a demo to anyone who's struggling with K8s complexity or the Heroku ceiling. Feel free to check out our website below

🧵 Really stoked to see how dagger progresses in the next year....
Considering cloudposses passion for dockerized "run anywhere" with the toolchains, this will be exciting to you in the future I think.

Does anyone know of a browser plugin that can do spellcheck in a github gist? The Microsoft Editor plugin doesn't work there.

Hi folks, we are tuning a product offering around better operational docs (stateful.com). If any platform/sre/devops engineers would be willing to talk to me, I would really appreciate it! 🙏🙏🙏

How many of you distribute a developer experience style cli internally as a dockerized image like how geodesic is distributed? A little story on it?

Something that's used by multiple teams with different tech stacks?

Ugh. PHP and devtools vs build once deploy many postures. Do people build both the nonprod and prod versions at the same time to mitigate software supply chain issues such as dependency chain drift? Or do people still build at deploy time for php without worrying that it invalidates sdlc investments such as testing against other builds....?

Hello folks, I am configuring a greeter bot for new joiners in my Slack community. I would like to know if the one used in this workspace is open-source. Does anyone know?

Do I need to report hiring spam DMs somehow? It is in announcements so I guess it is handled already

Hypothetically, how difficult would it be to repurpose Geodesic and Atmos with GCP functionality? Thinking about expanding some of those capabilities for some home projects!

What are folks using for multi-device file syncing these days? Dropbox Offline Folders are paid only now, and pCloud doesn't have a FS mount in Android (raaage).
