Infrastructure as Code Landscape with Matt Gowie

great interview. i learned some stuff. i would love to hear matts view on security good practices.

Yes, would love to know more about K8s

I’d be interested in a video about breaking up a terralith, there were some valid points made that we are currently facing

Been thinking a lot about this 'terralith' thingy, and had this fear somewhere inside, that if using single state is really a good approach. Seems like it is not only me.
Would be fascinating to see a video, which would give some guidelines about criteria which could help to identify when to use terralith and when 'micro-terra'. Plan/apply time? Amount of resources? May be some types of resources should always have separate state, like AKS? Multi-region?

So far I was only thinking about plan/apply times - if it is quick enough - let it stay in one state, cause convenience of stitching everything in one root module is so hard to beat.

I've written several Powershell 'wrapper' scripts that do a 'state list' then present that list as a PS grid from where you can choose one or more resources on which to perform various changes, eg remove from state+HCL, rename resources (does a state move and finds+replaces within the HCL) etc. Also, ones to find Azure resources that aren't TF'd and automagically import them. They've proven quite useful...

Came for the IaC, stayed for the goatee's!
I've been hired on several times now to un-eF a company's Terralith. Or when I started somewhere I discovered all their terraform was a Giant terralith and no one knew how to use it or understood it. And it can take quite a while to just understand it. They'll have modules on top of modules calling other modules that call even more modules. idk why some of these outside teams do such a thing to these companies. I don't feel bad for the Companies, I feel bad for me having to sort it out!
