IDE plugins for working with Terraform

Atlantis is a self-hosted application that automates Terraform workflows, enabling teams to collaborate on infrastructure changes effectively. It integrates seamlessly with popular version control systems, such as GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, and facilitates code review and approval processes. By automating many of the manual steps involved in executing Terraform commands, Atlantis improves productivity, reduces human error, and ensures a consistent workflow across your team.

Terraform is a powerful infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tool that allows developers to define and manage their infrastructure using a simple declarative language. As you work with Terraform, you'll often find yourself with existing infrastructure that you need to import into Terraform to manage. In this blog post, we'll walk through the process of generating Terraform JSON files and tfstate files based on existing infrastructure.

Kubernetes has emerged as the go-to container orchestration platform, streamlining application deployment, scaling, and management. While the benefits of Kubernetes are undeniable, managing costs effectively can be challenging. This article will explore Kubernetes cost management 101, providing an overview of best practices to help you optimize your infrastructure and save money.

The shift to the cloud has brought new challenges in securing environments, with traditional static rules and static graph algorithms-based approaches to security falling short. In this article, we will explore why static rules and static graph algorithms are no longer sufficient, and why dynamic graph algorithms present a better solution for cloud security management (CSPM, CIEM, and KSPM)

Terraform Cloud is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform built on top of the open-source Terraform tool. It provides a centralized workspace for teams to collaborate on infrastructure management, share Terraform configurations, and enforce security and compliance policies. Terraform Cloud streamlines the infrastructure management process by automating manual tasks, enabling version control, and providing a unified platform to track and monitor infrastructure changes.

Traditional security measures, such as periodic scans, have become increasingly inadequate in ensuring the safety and integrity of cloud environments. The cloud's rapidly evolving and dynamic nature necessitates a more practical approach: real-time change impact analysis. In this article, we will explore the limitations of periodic scans for cloud security and delve into the benefits of real-time change impact analysis as a superior alternative.

Terraform code needs to be tested to ensure that it works as expected. In this post, we'll look at some best practices for testing Terraform infrastructure code.

Reducing the cost of AWS NAT Gateways is essential for optimizing the budget for your cloud infrastructure. AWS NAT Gateways play a crucial role in enabling communication between instances in private subnets and the internet, but the cost of using them can add up quickly. In this hands-on guide I’ve covered several best practices to reduce the cost of your AWS NAT Gateways. By following these best practices, you can reduce the cost of your AWS NAT gateway and optimize your cloud infrastructure budget.
