I am a Staff Site Reliability Engineer, and I work remotely from East Tennessee. I have been programming professionally since 2007 after discovering software development in graduate school. My Geology degree has given me an appreciation for large systems and processes which has created keen interest in Solutions Architecture, DevOps, and the Cloud. During the day I work on Windows, but at night I am all about Linux.

Did you know you could turn Terraform output into a PowerShell object? I hadn't even considered doing it until I needed to do it recently. https://www.phillipsj.net/posts/using-terraform-outputs-in-powershell/
Using Terraform Outputs in Powershell • Jamie Phillips

I have been using Terraform for more than five years, and in that time, I’ve never needed to consume outputs from executed Terraform until recently. It was a strange realization, and I found myself deciding the best way to do it. You may have noticed that I have been using Terraform with .NET, and I’ve also been using a project called Invoke-Build for my build scripting. I have found Invoke-Build and .

SUSE has an impressive legacy deeply rooted in the world of #opensource. As we witness #RedHat restricting public access to the source code of #RHEL, a disheartening move for our thriving open-source community, it's uplifting to see #SUSE standing firm in its dedication to the vibrant #openSUSE ecosystem. https://www.suse.com/c/navigating-changes-in-the-open-source-landscape/

Azure App Service Certificate and Terraform • Jamie Phillips

I recently ran across an interesting issue with using Terraform to load an existing SSL certificate located in a key vault not in the same subscription or resource group to an Azure App Service. Here is an example of what was being used. resource "azurerm_app_service_certificate" "main" { name = "test-eus-cert" resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.main.name location = azurerm_resource_group.main.location key_vault_secret_id = "<key vault secret id>" } Here is the error I was receiving.

@felimwhiteley if you couldn’t use Neon or Kubuntu, what distro would you choose? I’m curious to know.

Ok, I figured out the problem with ChatGPT. It's simply this: you know the old rule that 90% of writing is crap? We've made a tool trained on that, which if left unchecked will take that to 99.99%.

It would be better if we didn't do that.

@JoeRess I’ve been noticing several Ubuntu flavor maintainers checking out other distros. Is there a story there?

Google feels the need to put a banner in gmail saying they don’t read your emails to show you ad content. Then why are the adds related to my emails?

Initial Silverblue Device and Blogging Setup • Jamie Phillips

It’s April and I’ve started my Silverblue journey. I picked a laptop to start as that allows me to chill on the couch and think about how I want to handle the setup. I will be using Ansible to do my installation of Flatpaks and my Toolbox setups. The laptop that I’m using is an Asus Vivobook with a 12th Gen Intel i3-1220p and 12GB of RAM. Silverblue was installed flawlessly and has been working as expected.

New article! I discuss the newly released Vanilla OS Linux distribution, led by @mirkobrombin. I compare it to immutable distributions like Fedora Silverblue.

I also talk about a new way to use the Linux desktop, showcased by Vanilla OS.

It's called the 'immutable workflow' - using Flatpak, immutability, and Distrobox together to have worry-free updates and unprecedented software availability. Here's how it works!

Vanilla OS and the next-generation Linux desktop

Vanilla OS, an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution, recently had its first stable release. Much like other Ubuntu-based distributions, it emphasizes ease of use. However, it approaches this differently than many others.
