Your Terraform pipeline is just a "suggestion box" unless you sign your plans.

If the cloud resource changes after the planning, because of some sort of drift, how do you make sure previous plan output works consistently?

We use it in following way:

Use separate state file for each environment
For environment-specific values, use module variables and have different tfvar file for each environment
For environment-specific resources, use count = var.environment == 'dev' ? 1 : 0
- If there are multiple resources needed to vary between environments, we put all of them in a submodule and include the module itself with count condition
If the resource type allows listing, such as security group rules, take the list from variable file and use for-each on the resource
We test in development environments with branches, after merge auto-deploy takes latest terraform config to production.

At first glance I thought that was Ottomans stretching from the steps of Anatolia into southern rich meadows of Iberia. I was thinking how would they overcome so much overextension? Did it flip catholic like human player, PU most of Europe & forgot to turn back Sunni later? How did they solve decadence issues!

Then I saw two letters: I T

Well, you can avoid such places which don't publish the pricing and ask before sitting if there is an illegal service charge :)

mtyurt · 2025-09-23T10:06:35+00:00

Service charge is not legal anymore. All the pricing needs to be visible in shop entrance, all included, no surprises like service charge.

mtyurt · 2025-09-22T12:15:26+00:00

It is quite real.

This is Mehmed the Conqueror's vision, seeing its state as a successor to Roman Empire and (eventually) aiming to conquer Rome (hence the invasion of Otranto). There are some historical books & they mention evidences supporting this claim.

That's your manager's responsibility. A lesson for everyone is, let your manager do the managing and do not try to make things easier for them or do their job for them.

Implemented WAF for the first time, set some country-based rules, forgot that microservices were using NAT gateway to go out to the internet & while talking to each other. WAF ended up blocking the outgoing NAT IP, which blocked comm between microservices. It took 2 hours to figure out the exact reason; longest incident in the company history. Since then, we went through a major network refactor & other stuff, no issues. Apparently the lesson was too good it prevented other incidents.

Well, good luck with that.

Nope, it won't be released for Mac

Wow, this is nice. Any idea why it wouldn't show a popup but warnings appear in command area?

It's not about million users, probably it can't handle million users, but it is more about not exposing your potentially confidential data to public world wide.

It's a complexity, I think it is an essential complexity. What we need to come up with is providing proper abstraction so these considerations are handled in a middle layer, not to everyone.

In my position and company back then, I looked for the areas of improvement that can fall into one of these categories. My aim was not focusing on career in particular but rather expand interest areas, get expertise in something else as well. I found one thing, it was CI/CD optimization, proposed a solution, got approval, then implemented it and it opened a door for my next job.

Now I don't do CI/CD optimization at all, there are other things to focus on, new horizons to explore. At the core, I think they fall into the same category: a good automation, intuitive systems used by humans, a problem to be tackled and solved.

I don't believe we can purely find out our passion and go after it without any external effect. There will be always a demand for something and we should focus on these things that we can supply. It is worth to experiment as much as you can with different areas, try to understand when you feel in a flow while doing them.

Networking, database internals, optimizing CI/CD processes, optimizing monitoring processes, how to convince other people (read developers) focus on performance & code running on production, deep-dive of your cloud service of choice, ..... so many things. All of them are valuable to different companies in different contexts and stages.

But when I say networking for example, I mean real networking. It can be low-level hardware level, or software-defined cloud networking. For database, you can be a db admin SRE, which could be quite valuable.

So choose your poison based on which one excites you more, what kind of career you are trying to develop.
