Dealing with multiple terraform remote states can become a rather complex task. Besides, querying resources with terraform CLI isn’t very visual 😅. In this post we will present Terraboard, an open source tool developed by Camptocamp that solves these issues. Terraboard provides a web interface which also adds a diff tool to compare different resource versions. It currently supports terraform states in both AWS S3 and Terraform Cloud backends. Testing it locally 💻 Terraboard is distributed as a CLI written in Go, alongside an AngularJS web UI, and it requires a Postgres database in order to work. There are several […]

Let’s be honest, managing Kubernetes clusters is not an easy task, even when it comes to managed Kubernetes services. Controlling the overall infrastructure, performing cluster upgrades and tracking the configuration of each cluster can really become a challenge. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) comes in handy here, with declarative languages such as Terraform and CloudFormation. However, the learning curve of this kind of languages may be steep for those with no previous experience in IaC. Thus, it would be nice to manage clusters in the same way that Kubernetes resources are managed: with manifests and a CLI. In this post, eksctl […]

This is the third post of a collection of GitOps tools articles. In this post, a continuous integration and continuous deployment tool for Kubernetes is reviewed: Werf. If you missed previous articles on GitOps tools, you could give them a read, as it will help you better understanding the general idea. ArgoCD and FluxCD, were the previously reviewed tools. As for the previous tools, an example repository has been developed so that you can test Werf with some existing configurations. You can find the repository here. GitOps & Werf ⛵ GitOps is defined as a way of managing Kubernetes infrastructure and […]

This is the second article on Infrastructure as Code using well-known programming languages. The first one was focused on the AWS CDK. In this post, we will introduce Pulumi, a similar tool which offers multi-cloud support. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is one of the biggest revolutions in the cloud computing landscape, as it allows automating the deployment of infrastructure based on its definition in the source code. Using code as the source of truth for infrastructure has several benefits: Infrastructure can be versioned as source code normally is, increasing the traceability of the infrastructure deployed. Deployments, rollbacks and disaster recovery […]

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is one of the biggest revolutions in the cloud computing landscape, as it allows automating the deployment of infrastructure based on its definition in the source code. Using code as the source of truth for infrastructure has several benefits: Infrastructure can be versioned as source code normally is, increasing the traceability of the infrastructure deployed. Deployments, rollbacks and disaster recovery procedures can be easily automated, reducing the amount of human intervention, thus reducing the likelihood of errors. Costs are reduced, as resources can be easily resized to adapt them to the load fluctuations and environments can […]
