Just some person moving from Twitter
the OpenTofu to the CNCF github issue is fascinating - I thought exactly the same as
@rawkode.dev

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 :)

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.

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
