We ran Terraform in Bitbucket Pipelines builds - full testing with awspec, remote state in S3, statefile locking in DynamoDB. It might surprise you, but there are cases where you might not want to run Terraform in a pipeline.

I was of the same opinion as the GP until I started using Terraform. Coming from a sysadmin background, I was always told to use default tools 'because one day you'll ssh into a random server and it won't have any of your fan

A real problem I've found in Australia is the overuse of fog lights. People will drive around the suburbs with four lights blasting from the fronts of their SUVs. It's widespread, it's dangerous, and it's illegal, but it

Someone more familiar with satellites can correct me, but from my understanding you should be able to detect deforestation from real-time satellite data. You alert on changes in the level of greenery in the images. The indicator might trail

Have you looked into Cloud Foundry? From my understanding, it can operate like a FaaS provider or like a Docker container scheduler.

It's weird that the author chooses Iceland as an example of a GMT+0 country, rather than Britain which is where Greenwich is.

Interesting write-up. I'd love to see stats on how the new database is performing. Have they reduced it from running on 45 4xlarge instances? Do backups still take a day? Was it a good financial decision?

The linked article is a little light on detail. I found this to be a much more interesting explanation of the why/how/where: https://www.techradar.com/news/why-is-jeff-bezos-building-a-...

I don't think that's accurate. We stopped paying because we couldn't justify the expense. Great product, great support, but we didn't have the necessary uptake with users. We would totally use an alternative like this.

Looks like a great tool. The lovely folks at Hava.io are going to be unhappy about this!

Somebody once told me in a meeting: "The company was going to deliver their presentation, but the resource had a baby." We really need to end this craziness.

I had that same thought initially. When the Minion appeared, though, I was struck by the power of cooperation in achieving great things. We can achieve far more when we band together.

I find it frustrating that we're still having this conversation. I feel like it was common knowledge five years ago that DevOps was a cultural shift, and definitely not a toolset, not a team, not a position title. But I still see the a

I was asked by a previous employer to perform the rollout of MDM to our mobile fleet, and I fully agree with everything in the article. Restrictions were implemented at the whim of my boss. As an example, he found out there was a feature in

That was a conversation we were just having today. We definitely went out further than was safe, simply because there were lifeguards on the beach. I've been to plenty of beaches without lifeguards and been far more risk-averse. It was

I was out in the surf off the NSW coast today, and it was scary as hell. Massive waves that suck you in and spin you around like a washing machine, coupled with a strong current pulling you out to deep water. I definitely would have felt sa

At Geoscience Australia there are a handful of positions that deploy remote sensors for things like seismic monitoring. One of my friends is at this very moment in Antarctica to deploy sensors. If you're in the States, maybe look into

Yup, seconded. My first thought was that I was seeing Chrome's no SSL warning. I'd recommend changing the colour scheme, even just slightly.

Fantastic ideas here! I love your peaceful, holistic approach to an industry that is so often dominated by stress, last-minute planning, and local optimisation at the expense of the whole. Thanks so much for sharing.

I tested this out just yesterday. It was fairly easy to set up - enable SSO, create a Directory Service, add a management EC2 instance, and you're pretty much up and running. You've got to set up your own Active Directory using Di
