🚀 Started Day 1 of the Terraweek challenge of Terraform with Shubham Londhe Challenge: 🌐 Let's Dive into Terraform with the TerraWeek Challenge - 7 Days of Terraform Discovery! 👩💻 I just completed the detailed blog post on Introduction to Terraform as Infrastructure of Code. Key Takeaways: 🔍 Understanding Terraform's role in managing code-driven infrastructure. 🔧 How Terraform works and the importance of efficient infrastructure provisioning with some key concepts of Terraform. 📝 Easy steps to install Terraform and how easily it is used to set up infrastructure on cloud providers like AWS. Check out the full blog and dive deep into the basics of Terraform #devops #terraform #terraweek #infrastructureascode #blogpost #devopscommunity #devopsjourney #awscloud #automation

🌍 Fun Fact about Terraform! 🌱 Did you know? Terraform's "State File" is like the treasure map of your infrastructure! 🗺️ It keeps track of every resource it manages, allowing you to build, change, and version your infrastructure safely. Without it, Terraform would be flying blind! 🔧 Bonus: Terraform can manage everything from cloud resources ☁️ to DNS settings 🔄, and even 🍕 pizza orders (yes, really—there's a Pizza Provider)! 🍕 #Terraform #DevOps #CloudComputing #IaC #InfrastructureAsCode #Automation

Good insights from Soren Martius here. I think this maps to the Azure community as well. Most of us are using Azure DevOps and to a lesser extent Github Actions (but growing fast....) and we're using Azure Storage as our preferred state storage. What are the biggest challenges YOU face in IaC adoption?

If you're diving into the world of Kubernetes, you've likely encountered the term "Helm" or "Helm Charts". But what exactly is it? Developing applications in Kubernetes can quickly become complex. Managing numerous YAML configuration files can be overwhelming. Helm addresses these challenges by serving as a package manager for Kubernetes. It simplifies the deployment process using a package format known as Helm Chart, which encapsulates Kubernetes resources into a single deployable unit. This simplification facilitates easy sharing, versioning, and management of complex applications. Another key feature of Helm is its template engine, which leverages Go's template engine. This allows for easy customization of configuration files without directly modifying them. Helm Charts are also highly reusable across different projects. You can utilize existing charts from the community or develop your own, tailoring them to specific project requirements. #Helm #Cloud #Kubernetes

🎉 Exciting news—I just finished the Terraform Basics Training Course on KodeKloud! 🚀 The course was well-structured, starting with fundamental concepts and gradually diving into more advanced topics. This approach made it easy to follow and ensured I had a solid foundation before progressing. 🎓💻 Key takeaways: 1️⃣ I now have a strong grasp of Terraform core concepts like providers, resources, modules, workspaces, and state management. 2️⃣ I can confidently create and manage infrastructure across various cloud providers, such as AWS, using Terraform. 3️⃣ I learned best practices for secure and efficient infrastructure automation. Excited to apply these new skills in real-world projects! #Terraform #IaC #AWS #Provisioning #Automation

#DAY50 #Ansible: Part 2/3 - Diving Deeper into Roles, Modules, and Advanced Features 🚀 #Next in Part 3 🚀 In the final part of this series, we’ll dive into advanced features like Ansible Tower, best practices for scaling Ansible, and how to optimize performance for large environments! Stay tuned for Part 3! #Ansible #Automation #DevOps #InfrastructureAsCode #Cloud

🌟 Day 8 of My Kubernetes Learning Journey! 🌟 Today, I focused on learning about Ingress in Kubernetes. Here's what I discovered: Why Ingress? Ingress helps overcome limitations faced with Kubernetes services, especially in terms of load balancing and scalability. Key Problems Solved by Ingress: 1. Enterprise & TLS Load Balancing: Kubernetes services lacked enterprise-level load balancing features such as: Sticky Sessions TLS Path-Based & Host-Based Load Balancing Ratio-Based Load Balancing 2. Costly Load Balancers: Cloud providers charge for each load balancer (e.g., 1,000 load balancers = 1,000 static IP charges). Ingress Controllers: Different companies have created their own Ingress controllers, like: Nginx F5 Ambassador HA Proxy These controllers are available on GitHub, and you can install them using Helm charts. Ingress controllers not only serve as load balancers but sometimes even function as API gateways. I also learned the basics of how to create Ingress resources and install Ingress controllers! Excited to dive even deeper into the world of Kubernetes networking! #Kubernetes #DevOps #LearningJourney #Ingress #LoadBalancing #APIgateway #DailyUpdate

📌 Another image generated automatically from a Terraform repo. 🦅 The new product that we are about to open the beta access to select users is named: eagle-eye. It will give you a precise and accurate view of your IaC code, with a good balance between the number of details and how they are represented. ✅ Every Terraform configuration & file hierarchy is supported - Modules and nested modules - Loops, variables, variables in locals... - It understands the relationship between resource even if the base code is large - It will run in your CI to automatically generates diagrams on pull requests - At the moment, only AWS is supported 👋 Those who requested access will soon receive the instructions on how to download & use it. #cloud #multicloud #iac #devops #sre #gitops #platformengineering #aws

Terraform challenge: How do I visualize the dependencies between my Terraform stacks? What ‘Apply’ should I run first, and what’s the optimal order for ‘Applys’? Solution: ControlMonkey's Stack Dependencies Graph. We’ve just upgraded our “Stack Dependencies” feature with a visual and comprehensive graphical representation of all stack dependencies across your cloud infrastructure. Stack Dependencies allows you to create a flow of Terraform stacks that run in a customized sequence, passing critical information from one to another. This graph add-on makes it easier to visualize and understand infrastructure orchestration flow, especially with complex deployments comprised of several dependencies. #devops #terraform #opentofu #iac
