#terragrunt #finops and terraform is killing me today.

But I got the digest out,

Enjoy.

I made fun of #jdvance. It was fun. I promise

Any #terragrunt persons out there?

I need a modular way to build a framework for building AWS accounts (with required services), that is DRY and repeatable.

best I can come up with:

├── _example-account
│   ├── account.hcl
│   ├── us-east-1
│   ├── us-east-2
│   ├── us-west-1
│   └── us-west-2
├── _templates
│   ├── account.hcl
│   ├── env.hcl
│   ├── region.hcl
│   └── service
├── modules
└── terragrunt.hcl

#devops #terraform

When you build a #terragrunt compliant stack of modules that can be used in any case for any capacity, and your engineers still use #clickops.

Why? oh why do they do this?

Here I am working today, on stupid #devops shit, when , and I am shocked to have to say this, but a Senior Architect tells me and I literally quote "Wendy, I dont understand #DNS nearly as good as you do, so can you help me understand the cadence of what goes first or second", and all I can think is, this guy is a developer and he stupidly asks me this question? how in the fuck?

#aws #terragrunt #terraform #opentofu #git #gitproblems #gitops #wtf

Am I the only person who sees no advantage in using Terragrunt over pure Terraform/OpenTofu? If anything i think it adds unnecessary complexity that you're locked in to.

The apply before-or-after merge debate is perennial, but I find this article from Terramate covers it thoroughly and has a nice tabulated summary at the end.

📡My first network connectivity

I am setting up an IPv6-only homelab with Forgejo, OpenTofu + Terragrunt, MikroTik switches, and BIRD3 OSPFv3 routing. A Forgejo runner operates inside the homelab and configures the network using Infrastructure-as-Code. The entire IoC configuration is publicly available on Codeberg.
