Mailing List Cleanup - Terraform Weekly (Part 2)

(This is part of an open ended series of posts where I write down random things I feel are sharable from the years of mailing lists I’ve not caught up on…)

Oh hey! We’re starting Part 2s now. Here’s Part 1 of Terraform Weekly if you care about that sort of thing. Or just stick around for part 2, which starts in August, 2024 and goes to March 2025. So there’ll be a part 3.

• Dependabot: GitHub, and Terraform versions management – An ‘obvious once you see it’ thing for managing providers
• Mastering Terraform: Understanding Variable Precedence for Optimal Configuration Control – Once I get to using modules, this will be important
• Transforming AWS SES Domain Identity Setup with Terraform – These hop-skip-and-jump things are useful. Too many setups I have seen have ‘now do this manually over here’. Especially around SES. (And Certificate Manager.)
• Generating Infrastructure-as-Code From Existing Cloud Resources – And I quote, “Welcome to the Hell.”. Whoops.
• How to Structure a Terraform Project – Yes, another one.
• Terraform wait-for-it Implementation – See previous comment about hop-skip-and-jump configurations
• Terraform: AWS Cost Anomaly Monitors for Linked Accounts – Cost Anomaly monitor setup. I really do need to setup budget alerts…
• Combine AWS WAF with reactive infrastructure to block attackers (and don’t go broke in the process) – Putting this is in the back pocket when I scale AWS WAF again
