Building incident response playbooks-as-code with Terraform

Incident response is a critical aspect of any organization's operations, and it's vital to have a well-planned and well-documented incident response playbook in place. However, traditional incident response playbooks can be time-consuming to create, difficult to maintain, and often become out-of-date quickly. That's where "playbooks-as-code" comes in - a methodology that enables you to write your incident response playbook in code.

Deleted Assets: Why your cloud assets need a time machine

After exploring the advantages and disadvantages of popular tools such as Git and AWS CloudTrail audit services, and Google Cloud’s Change History it is clear that they are critical tools in our cloud ops toolkit. However, with the growing number of clouds, tools, services and much more––many DevOps teams are opting for consolidation, and prefer to have access to information in a unified system and format.

What if DevOps tools looked like humans?

Have you ever wondered how DevOps tools could be brought to life? Well, imagine no more! With the power of AI image generators, we can now turn those abstract concepts into human representations that are not only easier to understand but also visually appealing.

No chance event! How we built our event-driven architecture

The event-driven architecture pattern is a popular asynchronous architecture pattern that pushes information as events happen. When building an event-driven platform that requires big data, event aggregation is a good practice to reduce alert fatigue, not consume too many resources, and be cost effective. In this blog we'll talk about event-driven architecture in cloud operations and how to use Dynamo Streams for event-driven Lambda.

Terraform modules for advanced users

Terraform Modules have changed the game for codifying resources, bundling services, components, and enabling easy cloud infrastructure governance in the long run. The framework makes it truly simple to connect more common and proprietary resources through publicly available and maintained modules alongside custom-built modules. In this post, I'll walk you through some of the more advanced use cases for Terraform Modules.
