- Terraform, hashicorp.
- Like a docker compose file for infrastructure. A config that lists the items you need (VMs, K8s clusters, cloudflare, whatever) and then a cli to plan and apply these (instantiate the nodes, bring them up).
- VPC = virtual private cloud, of course. For networking between nodes. From AWS.
- Interfaces with many other providers to handle the specifics of bringing various bespoke nodes up.
- Can instantiate one system for dev, one for test, one for prod, etc. Maybe with different env vars, maybe with different nodes.
- Would be a layer around kubernetes.
- All config is as code, in source, versioned and reviewed.
- GitOps.
- The vcs hash is the version.
- Branches match environments.
- The merge action triggers the deploy (and other similar webhooks).
- Infrastructure as code = terraform.
- System config as code = ansible.
- Application config as code = kubernetes.
- AAA.
- This blog was so helpful to look back and search through today. In the chaos of the move I had to do so much, and wasn’t sure what I had already done with AAA membership.
- Created and bookmarked the online profile with AAA northeast. Printed membership card.
- Remember annual dues are $125 for just AAA membership. This is with the motorcycle extension.
- And remember through AAA, they give a discount for homeowner’s with my current Plymouth Rock coverage.
- Called to get new auto insurance policy. They didn’t have an agent for NY on sunday. Told me to call back on monday.
- Changed address with all credit cards and usps. Still love that my new zip is pure binary.
