If you are going to , don't forget to bring your proof of vaccination. Even though it's on the site, I overlooked it and wasn't aware it was a requirement for registration. Hopefully, this saves somebody the hassle :)

Are you curious how an application workload INSIDE of a Consul service mesh connects to a PaaS service? You can use a Terminating Gateway while maintaining security through mTLS and enforcing Consul intentions to permit or deny communication through an Envoy proxy. Pretty cool!

Gabe and I continue to create content for our new Terraform Cloud course. As you can see, we're making sure the slides are top-notch while providing you with lots of great information alongside of the hands-on labs that will be available to all students.

So the iPhone Pro 14 feels quite hefty compared to the 12 Pro. Doesn't feel like any big changes but will be testing out the camera this weekend.

Apparently I'm kicking off the Hallway track at HashiConf this year. I see they're setting the bar low to start off 🤣

I'll be at HashiConf and my plan this year is to mostly hang around the hallway track! Just happy to chat with our community, hear what you all are doing. twitter.com/HashiCorp/stat…

Is it just me, or do some of the Vault configurations drive you crazy? Do you want to enable TLS? Set the value to false. Want to disable client certs? Set the value to true. True should enable something, false should disable something :)

Looks like Terraform Cloud is getting a makeover. One of my organizations has been updated, but one has not, indicating a gradual rollout. Thanks to for pointing it out early this morning.

When working with Vault, it is NOT advised to use root tokens for day-to-day activities, yet I pretty much see it at every customer I work with....stop it 🤣 🤣 🤣

1. Great course that made me feel as I am actually prepared. Would definitely recommend. 2. Good content and the final test covers several doubts that in other simulators are not enough 3. Awesome. Really helps crack the certification exam.

Have you seen all the folks passing the Terraform Associate exam lately? Almost all of them have one thing in common - they have finalized their preparation using my Terraform Associate practice exam course. Here is some of the most recent feedback:

When working w/ Vault customers, sometimes it's good to have a high-quality mindmap to work off of to ensure that you touch on all the topics needed for production-level implementation. Here's an example of a Vault mindmap that I often reference during design workshops

Protecting the content of memory is critical for HashiCorp Vault. When running in a public cloud, use an instance type that automatically encrypts memory content, like the Instances with AWS Graviton 2 processors, such as M6g instances. These support always-on memory encryption.

As service mesh gets more popular, I've been thinking about how that integrates with other solutions in a customer environment. Consul-Terraform-Sync is a great solution to automate other services based on changes to application workloads. Who has played with it? Comment below👇

Consul has 4 types of gateways that can be used to help build out your service mesh infrastructure: - API Gateway - Mesh Gateway - Ingress Gateway - Terminating Gateway What gateways are you using in your environment, and what type(s) of services are they supporting? 👇👇👇
