I've talked to a few of you directly but if you are a UK or Europe based Azure User Group then I want to talk with you :) Get in contact as I'd love to talk more!

the OpenTofu to the CNCF github issue is fascinating - I thought exactly the same as @rawkode.dev - why the lateral movement... I still can't see why that's the case though. Does this mena it leaves the Linux Foundation? github.com/cncf/sandbox...

I started using @meetgranola.bsky.social yesterday and I am incredibly impressed! I've tried a few of these tools before and none have given me these results. So easy to get started as well! Nice work

A person at the aspire lounge in Belfast City airport was able to keep a straight face when they told me it was £51 as a walk in cost - I have no idea how they didn’t realise that was ridiculous and laughed as I laughed :)

Another day in the .NET ecosystem and it’s OSS (un)sustainability www.jimmybogard.com/automapper-a...

So we built a fuse style Filesystem for being able to interact with @systeminit.com - we didn't add macFUSE support yet and I was impatient... so I ran the binary in a container and needed to turn on rsync because:

Another day and another Devoxx / Voxxed rejection to a CFP - I just can’t get into that conference loop at all

If you are in London on April 9th, sign up for @awsuguk.bsky.social and go hear @stack72.dev talk about how we use the @awscloud.bsky.social Cloud Control API to automate the surface area of our AWS assets! www.meetup.com/awsuguk/even...

So I wrote a new talk specifically about AWS and I like the feel of it: Automating AWS Integration with Amazon Cloud Control API at System Initiative Looking forward to giving it at AWS User Group UK on April 9th - www.meetup.com/awsuguk/even...

Taking the new @buildkite.bsky.social build page for a test drive! It feels way eaiser to find information :)

We've started doing training sessions for System Initiative. From a standing start to a full application running on AWS, with ECS, best practice networking, load balancing, manual failover to an EC2 instance, and a tutorial on how to build your own custom templates from scratch: less than 4 hours.

So Trump signing executive orders right now is like that character in Harry Potter who signs decrees… does that make Elon the person who nails the orders to the wall?

@simonmcc.bsky.social @grahamhayes.bsky.social where are you gents?

Are you coming to @cfgmgmtcamp.bsky.social ? I am. My talk Monday afternoon is going to be the deepest, most technical talk I’ve given in years. Come learn a new theory of automation with me. It’ll be dope, I promise. Then on Wednesday, come to our workshop and learn System Initiative!

So i've been testing a new editor integration for @systeminit.com and I had to use @vscode.dev to do it because their remote development experience is so good! The lack of reactivity from @zed.dev was a bit painful with no way to manually force a refresh...

We are so excited for the latest Opportunity we started - Editor Integration!! We are building a FUSE based file system to allow our users to mount their workspace for authoring assets from their local IDE!! Read more about it on our blog - www.systeminit.com/blog/opportu...

Just submitted an application for the AWS Community Builders program. I deal with aws assets and integrations every day so I thought I’d give this a go :) Let’s see how it turns out

Each time I log into the @scaleway.bsky.social console, I am always pleasantly surprised at how much they are building! Can' wait to start talking about offering @systeminit.com integration for it!

Do you come to the Configuration Management Camp in few weeks? You can get your branded gears right now: shop.cfgmgmtcamp.org Shop is open until Wednesday, you pay now and get your stuff at the event.

Another day, another blog post about a new opportunity we started just before the holiday break! This time, the ability to trigger System Initiative using a GitHub Action (or a CURL request!). Come build out your CD pipelines!! www.systeminit.com/blog/opportu...

Schedule for @cfgmgmtcamp.bsky.social is out: cfgmgmtcamp.org/ghent2025/sc... 🎉 Thanks @krisbuytaert.bsky.social & Toshaan! Amazing line-up and looking forward meeting friends again in Ghent! I'll also be talking about scaling & compliance with Karpenter this year! Who's coming? 🍻 🧇 #cfgmgmtcamp

We started work before the holiday period on a new set of fine-grained access controls to better server enterprise teams! You can read more about it on our new blog post that introduces the opportunity - www.systeminit.com/blog/opportu...

Happy new year to you all! We are starting the year building on the features we released in December! We are working on "Visual Templates" - a way to create templates from a diagram! Come read about it in the blog post www.systeminit.com/blog/opportu...

So this year @cfgmgmtcamp.bsky.social have a shop where you can buy items and pick them up at the conference!! Check it out - shop.cfgmgmtcamp.org Looking forward to picking up my hoodie!

We've been experimenting in the Gen AI space recently and the feature is starting to take shape :) More on this soon! Check out the video below! You can take a well documented AWS endpoint and automatically generate a System Initiative schema for it! Lots more to do here but it's trending well...

Our last awesome announcement of the week... today we are delighted to announce the launch of 'Views'! Views allow a user to create a semantically relevant collection of components. You can use views to create views for networking, dns specific views etc.! www.systeminit.com/blog/announc...

The lack of being able to post any videos more than 60 seconds on this app frustrates me deeply!!

So @anthonychu.ca gave a great show of Azure Container apps and the things you can do with them - I need to have a look at how they can model them in @systeminit.com

This is one of the coolest releases we've made yet! And this is just the first turn of that work :) the next set of updates to it were just planned today and it's going to be another level!

Feels weird that we are in the week following #reinvent and the @awscloud.bsky.social CLI docs are not yet updated with things like EKS AutoMode...

@adamhjk.me so @brig.gs is in Vegas this week - you all should have a beer :)

We got 3 major features hitting this week and we are so excited to get them out into the world... :D Can't wait for you all to be able to use them!!

There's a @github.com issue imminent - can't make changes to a PR right now and the @githubstatus.grf.xyz isn't showing any issue yet

Rachel kills it as always. This is why we need a new automation primitive. The constraints are systemic in the construction of our delivery mechanisms - and we’ve pushed them roughly as far as they can go. I think @systeminit.com’s hypergraph of functions is an answer. (1/n)

Friends, it's #reinvent2024 week! We thought it would be a good time to launch our how-to guide for deploying a Lambda Container App with @systeminit.com ! docs.systeminit.com/how-tos/aws-...

So Malta means I’m like 7 European counties (not including San Marino) short of a full European set! Most of the countries still do visit are in the Balkans! Shame I seem to have missed them all

These AWS re:invent announcements are coming thick and fast!! I think there's going to be a lot of take in after re:invent!

This view from my hotel in St Julian’s, Malta is just something awesome. Pretty impressed with it this weekend

Having my ass kicked by Lambda tonight! Created a Lambda container image locally targetting linux/amd64 (from macOS) and when I try and create a lambda function to run it, I get the error: ``` The image manifest or layer media type for the source image is not supported. ``` Testing locally works!

Calling all Amazon ECS developers that are going to be at reInvent! Let me buy you breakfast! The ECS team is looking to have a sit down and learn about how you develop on ECS. We want to know what is working and what needs improvement. DM me if you are interested and I'll get you an invitation!

Our VP of Engineering, Brit Myers, was recently on the Maintainable Software Podcast to talk about `Decoding Product vs Technical Risk` Check it out - maintainable.fm/episodes/bri...

The new AWS dashboard is looking slick!!

I just read that 2025 is going to be the last Agile India - I loved my visit there some years back!

Seeing a lot of people talk about how Netflix struggled to cope during the Jake Paul / Mike Tyson fight My stream wasn’t disrupted at all - I think they did a remarkable job. I’m pretty sure this was them only dipping a toe in the live stream area

So a user shows up in our @systeminit.com discord with a small bug report on an asset. Both @adamhjk.me and I were around and had the asset fixed in a few minutes and we published the update for everyone to use within 10 minutes of the issue being picked up! That's the way it should be :)

Here we go... going to show the power of management components in @systeminit.com... You can think of these as as way of being able to manage multiple sets of infrastructure as the same time Let's say you want to enforce specific tags on a resource. You would write a management component 1/X

So many people that I know / follow arriving from X… I’m guessing this is starting to hit its stride here now

Can I really not sort my timeline here to show latest first?

Looks cool eh ;)

Was just on a partner call for @systeminit.com and dropped a sneaky demo of templates in action. So good to be able to demo this.
