In this blog post, we provide the necessary steps to setup a single-node standalone Consul server to be used as TF state backend.
In doing so, we aim to provide idempotent and reproducible codes using Tofu and Ansible, for the sake of disaster recovery as well as enabling team collaboration within version control system.
In the recent few years, I keep seeing people being more aware of their privacy and taking it into their own hands.
More and more solutions are emerging through the community that address the critical part of our society and personal life; privacy!
In this blog post, I will introduce you to Ente, the Google Photos alternative.
You will see the codes required to deploy the server into a Kubernetes setup and host the frontend using GitHub Pages.
Stick around till the end if that's your cup of tea.
Building and deploying static sites is rarely an issue these days. Most of the PaaS providers already have full support for your live and your preview environments and a clean integration with your favorite Git provider.
However, some organizations may choose to stick with big players like GCP for various reasons.
In this blog post, you will learn how to build your frontend and deploy your static files to GCP bucket using GitHub Actions and serve it behind GCP CDN.
In this approach we will employ OpenID Connect to authenticate GitHub Actions runner to GCP API to avoid passing hard-coded credentials (Actually, GCP calls this Federated Workload Identity but it is unsurprisingly based on OIDC).
If this sounds interesting to you, let's not keep you waiting any longer.
In this blog post, you will learn how to leverage GitHub Actions to deploy static files to the GitHub Pages of another repository.
This can be useful if you keep your source code in a private repository, but also, you may find additional reasons to need this setup.
Stick around till the end to find out how to do this with OpenTofu.
In this blog post I share my opinioated version of provisioning a Kubernetes cluster in the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using nothing but Opentofu.
The principles discussed here are the ones I have learned while dealing with production setups at the same scale.
If you enjoy Kubernetes or want to learn more about GCP, this is for you.
Most of the modern software deployment these days benefit from containerization and Kubernetes as the de-facto orchestration platform.
However, occasionally, I find myself in need of some Ansible provisioning and configuration management.
In this blog post, I will share how to create Ansible dynamic inventory in a way that avoids the need to write hard-coded IP addresses of the target hosts.
Discover how Azure Bastion can revolutionize your cloud security strategy. This comprehensive guide explains what a Bastion host is, why it's crucial for secure access to your Azure resources, and provides a step-by-step walkthrough for implementation.
You'll learn how to enhance your network security, simplify remote access, and automate Bastion deployment using tools like OpenTofu and Azure CLI. Dive in to unlock the full potential of secure, scalable cloud access for your organization.
