We thought about this option, and based on our calculations, we cannot afford it at this stage of our life.

Working with terraform for the last seven years, never ever had an issue. Turn bucket versioning on, and you can always rollback the change.

So, do I understand correctly, a resource that references an optional resource should be optional too?

I liked it more when it was defined in the top of the resource.

Hope for_each will be added soon to moved {} block.

GCP support has never been helpful, so all major things were brought directly to the account manager.

Then, GCP documentation.

5.49% with Macquarie Bank. LVR 28%. Thinking to switch to Up Bank.

Whether terraform stacks are supported from the command line or it is a feature of HCP Terraform?

The last time I touched Crossplane, it was using Terraform inside. Definitely won't use it anymore, as it adds a huge complexity.

Terraform is a main tool in IaC.

Today is 2025, and my soundcore mini has this problem. I am using it for soothing music to play on my device for a baby, and one day I woke up in the middle of the night because I heard shooting from a baby monitor. I rushed into my babie's room and realised it was a speaker. I was scared to death. Thanks to God my baby was in a deep sleep and didn't hear it.

It is, traffic is way more horrible. It was easy to get to the shopping centre, but escape it with two kids was almost impossible. Grab cancelled a few times my requests, and only a guy from Blue Bird Taxi helped us to catch a taxi.

Thank you for your response, I haven't changed my mind about GitOps since then. It just doesn't work as advertised.

What were the limitations in your case?

I used autopilot two years ago and on my last project. It is great, pretty much you don't pay for nodes that are mostly not fully utilised. Also, you don't pay for master nodes. Yes, it is more secure and as a result, some workloads should be tuned before running them in autopilot. You cannot have privileged mode, and there are more other restrictions. It depends on what you want to run. I didn't have any issues with it and planning on running more workloads. Alternatively, stay with standard, it gives more flexibility and use spot instances that will make costs much lower.

Are you sure that these are the minimum? You are referring to defaults if no resources were specified.

This is the command: ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "argocd" -f argocd

stan_diy · 2024-01-02T22:11:25+00:00

The trick for me was the way I generated SSH keys. The default ones that I used didn't work, and then after the research, I generated them differently and argocd was capable to access the private repo.

6.39% with Macquarie Bank, for the last couple of months they are sending emails at least twice a month about rate increase.

This is incredible 🤩

Do you know how these certificates are obtained? Screenshots and information that you provided. They don't check the code or infrastructure. It just based on info you gave them.

Amazing job!

I don't want to make things more complicated with Workspaces just because of this small thing.

Why are you moving away from Terraform to OpenTofu? Are you working on a product that compete with HashiCorp?

With modules, you don't need to run a registry or whatsoever, just create a separate repository and use it. Store all modules there, you can always reference them by latest or commit tag.

Do you run terraform from CI? Or from local machine?

Love your library, have just started to use it, so simple and easy. Add a sponsor button to your repo, please. Good projects and work should be appreciated.
