Zerto presented at Cloud Field Day 8 (#CFD8) last week. Here are my thoughts are what they presented and where I think they can go from here.
You can validate your variable input using Terraform 0.13 beta in both the root module and child modules. I'll show you how in this demo. Terraform Certification Guide: https://leanpub.com/terraform-certified/ Terraform Tuesdays GitHub: https://github.com/ned1313/terraform-tuesdays
You are more than your title. Think beyond what you do today, and think about what you could do tomorrow.
Moving on to objective three: Assess Vault Tokens: 3 Assess Vault tokens 3a Describe Vault token 3b Differentiate between service and batch tokens.

#Veeam presented at #CFD8. Here are my thoughts. You can watch the whole thing at https://techfieldday.com/event/cfd8/ Three things I focused on: 1. Veeam is in a good position grow and expand 2. Their cloud products are decent, but need to embrace PaaS 3. Veeam loves their CSPs and MSPs and that's good
Some resources are super complicated. How do you figured out how to use them? You can read the docs, but what really helps is the cloud CLI. #TerraformTuesday Terraform Certification guide: https://leanpub.com/terraform-certified/

Yesterday I talked about K3s a little bit. Let's take a look at what is out there for K8s on the edge. Why use K8s at the edge? - Consistent platform for development - Test on the cloud, deploy to the edge - The power of CRDs and operators - Doesn't fix the hardware and true edge device issues - Do we really need something on top of Linux and is K8s it? What's out there? - #KubeEdge - resource optimized, open-source...

#Hivecell has an interesting solution for edge deployments. Let's explore it a bit. Check out their website here: https://hivecell.com/
Can HPE compete with what AWS, GCP, and Azure have to offer? HPE Greenlake • Hardware as a service • Dell is doing similar things with their • Edge to Cloud • Built to order • Rapid rollout • Pay-as-you-go HPE Ezmeral • Unification of software portfolio • I've not been bullish on HPE software in the past • Plus they killed Helion
Terraform 0.13 features: • For_each and count for modules • Depends_on for modules • Automatic install of 3rd party providers • Custom validation rules for module variables Terraform Cert Guide: https://leanpub.com/terraform-certified/ Buffer Overflow: https://www.anexinet.com/resources/podcasts/buffer-overflow/
I'm going to learn #Python by creating an application in Azure Functions and use Azure Tables. It's going to replace the way that I use Zapier today. Should be interesting!
This time we're covering objective: 1. Compare authentication methods Check out my Vault course on Pluralsight: https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/getting-started-hashicorp-vault
What if I told you there is no edge?
The pendulum swings from one extreme to the other, or does it?
Highlights of the conference so far and the road to Terraform 1.0. https://hashiconf.com/
My key takeaways - Learn scripting: PowerShell or Python Learn a cloud, doesn't matter which one Learn basic software development lifecycle and concepts
What is Vault and why would you use it? #HashiConf next week: https://hashiconf.com/ Vault website: https://www.vaultproject.io/
Let's talk about how networking has evolved for the enterprise and what Edge is going to do to it. Hint: it's going to have a massive impact.
