#Terraform search is declarative resource discovery. Write queries in .tfquery.hcl files, discover resources fulfilling your queries, export resource configuration and import blocks to bring the resources under management by Terraform! Read more ➡️ mattias.engineer/blog/2025/te...

#Terraform actions allow you to declaratively perform operations outside the normal CRUD workflow. I've put together a deep-dive into this new concept mattias.engineer/blog/2025/te... #hashiconf

Does provisioning speed matter? It might! I saw a post claiming that it took 10x, 100x, or even 1000x longer to provision infrastructure on #Azure compared to #AWS. Is that true? I ran a comparison for managed #Kubernetes services from each provider: mattias.engineer/blog/2025/ak... #terraform

#Terraform is great because it is not simply for one provider/one cloud. You can target multiple clouds in the same Terraform configuration. It doesn't have to be multiple clouds, the more generic term is multiple providers (e.g. #Azure + Entra ID) spacelift.io/blog/terrafo...

I've always been fascinated by #AWS #Lambda. It it something appealing over FaaS: write a self-contained function that performs a given job and deploy it. I don't think I write enough Lambda functions these days - is it even possible? www.anyshift.io/blog/aws-lam...

Import resources to your #Terraform state using resource identity instead of resource ID. There is now some support for #AWS resources (still not full support). This features makes the import blocks look much cleaner!

Managing tags on AWS requires planning and tools. In this blog post I go through a few ideas around tagging strategy and how to enforce and monitor your environment for tag compliance. Read the blog post at mattias.engineer ➡️ mattias.engineer/blog/2025/ma... #aws #terraform #hashicorp

The best way to manage IP addresses on #AWS is with the VPC IPAM service, and the best way to manage anything on AWS is with #Terraform - change my mind :D I go through how to manage IPAM on AWS with Terraform in a blog post here ➡️ mattias.engineer/blog/2025/aw...

I'm going for a long weekend in Amsterdam soon. I was not planning on bringing my book with me so this ChatGPT-rendered image is a great substitute.

ChatGPT butchered the book a tiny bit, but overall very nice rendition of the typical reader of my book! #terraform

I once (by accident) wrote "Dead <name>," as the first line in an email. A week later the person I sent the email to passed away after a short period of illness. Needless to say I am still haunted by this til this day. Maybe having an AI write the boilerplate parts of an email is not so bad?

I've published a course for the #Terraform associate certification on #Leanpub! It's 90% done, and available at a reduced minimum price until I consider it to be 100% complete. A few illustrations, quizzes and general polishing left to complete! leanpub.com/c/terraform-...

Things that you commit to git tends to stay in the git history, even if you remove the file afterwards. Although it is possible to clean up your git history, it's a good idea is to keep unintended files out from git to begin with. Use .gitignore for this www.env0.com/blog/gitigno... #env0 #git

What is a good format for a printed technical book? I mean physical format, size-wise. I published my first book in A4 format to easily fit code samples and output and stuff. However, that is not the most common format for printed books. Is "US Trade 6x9 inch" the common format?

In #Terraform 1.10 the element function now accepts negative indices. Unappreciated update perhaps! What is the element function for, anyway? One use case is to spread a number of subnets across availability zones, or virtual machines across subnets. Let me know if you think of more use cases!

Terraform 1.10 is out, and along with it the concept of ephemeral resources mattias.engineer/blog/2024/te... #terraform #blog

Diving deep into the #Terraform element function with @spacelift.bsky.social in my latest blog post spacelift.io/blog/terrafo... Heads-up: there will be a small update to this function in Terraform 1.10 I believe (it will accept negative indices) #iac #spacelift

I like uigradients.com, it's the perfect site to find nice colored gradients to use as header image on #LinkedIn or #Bluesky or somewhere else. You're welcome!

I had a 30-minute presentation on the #Terraform #Test Framework at a meetup today. Note to future self: 30 minutes is by far NOT enough time to cover background on IaC/Terraform + the test framework with live demos 😅 I had to cut the majority of the live demo, which was unfortunate.

Name the infrastructure-as-code product that you think of when watching this #Steam icon?

Watching this reaction video by @marktinderholt.com I have VERY bad experiences from watching reaction videos in the past, they're generally aimed at a generation much younger than me - but the format of this one by Mark is very good and filled with great insights! www.youtube.com/watch?v=chwC...

I'm a big fan of #Terraform, but I'm also aware that some tools may be a better fit in certain contexts. It is not really possible to say that "Tool-X is best, end of story" Tool-X might be best in Context-A, but in Context-B something else might make more sense. Use the best tool for the job!

#HashiTalks 2025 is now accepting proposals for presentations! If you're a user of @hashicorp.bsky.social stuff and want to talk about it, here's your chance! And if you're nervous about live presentations, there is a pre-recorded option too. 📄 sessionize.com/hashitalks-2...
