I don't have the words how incredibly excited I am to @adamhjk's demo of System Initiative. The next generation of infrastructure is officially on the horizon, and it looks beautiful.

Started configuring a mailrelay for outgoing mail as part of my volunteer activities for Museum @EICAS , since administrating a full-fledged mail server is no-ones idea of fun, but we wanted to capture some more contol/diagnostics.

Really enjoying how Nix allows packaging this up in a self-contained way, and easily moving between my NixOS dev machine and the Oracle Linux-based deployment.

Maybe you already heard "infrastructure as code", but what does it mean? Why should you care?

Let's find it out!

I have a feeling that DevOps is going into the same kind of loops as web development.

1. Calling cloud provider APIs using programming language scripts
⬇️
2. No, let's go declarative (Ansible, YAML)
⬇️
3. No, declarative but with a new language (Terraform)
⬇️
4. Meh, let's use programming languages again (CDK, Pulumi)
⬇️
5. goto 1

Do not self-host your CI/CD system on the same infrastructure on which your application is deployed.

Don't even reuse the same Terraform modules!

Reading the book "Infrastructure as Code" while waiting for my AMIs to build.
