Terraform All The Way
New post: this one is a bit niche. It’s about Terraform and other cloud orchestration tools. If this is not your thing, have a good day!
My preachings are somewhat controversial in some circles, so do read it if you want to learn how to trigger a good number of DevOps people.
The premise: if you're running Kubernetes, Terraform should be doing the application layer too. I've been running Terraform since 2014. People keep asking why not Helm, why not Argo, why not just kubectl. So I wrote it all down; the history, the coupling argument, and the strongest case against it.
Cheers,
Rutger
