Platform Engineering and Cloud Operations

Welcome to week two of the OpenTofu workshop! This week, we'll dive into the concept of modular infrastructure using OpenTofu. Modules are a powerful way to organize your code, promote reusability, and enforce best practices in Infrastructure as Code (IaC). By the end of this session, you'll be able to create your own modules, use existing ones, and apply best practices for modular infrastructure design.

Welcome to week one of the OpenTofu workshop! In this module, you'll learn how to create an EC2 instance running Wordpress, set up a MariaDB database, and configure basic infrastructure in AWS. We’ll go through creating instances, security groups, and databases while discussing key Terraform/OpenTofu concepts.

OpenTofu is an infrastructure-as-code tool that lets you define both cloud and on-prem resources in human-readable configuration files that you can version, reuse, and share. This post will help you get started using OpenTofu to manage your Azure resources.

At Massdriver.cloud, we are always keen to bring you the latest insights and thought leadership in the world of platform engineering and DevOps. Our latest podcast episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of cloud infrastructure and its evolution.

ClickOps got you down? In this post we'll learn how to generate OpenTofu code using AI. Its not a silver bullet, but it'll get you further than many of the tools in the OSS space.

Generating OpenTofu or Terraform from existing cloud resources is a tedious process fraught with gotchas. It's not a silver bullet for click-ops debt. This post will discuss caveats of tools and different approaches to generating IaC.

Improving your organization's position in the DevOps Maturity Model involves focusing on specific practices, tools, and processes that align with the capabilities and needs of each maturity level.

Using common DevOps tooling shouldn't be this hard.
