If I could have my time again I'd focus on enablement of the broader engineering group through an incident management process, readiness exercises, some aggregate incident analyses for the org to learn from and leaning into observability.
Infrastructure is kind of a solved problem for common use cases today, just requires the expertise.
With our ducks in a row I'd next have look to a GRC function for the compliance bits whilst splitting the platform engineers time between embedding engagements and tooling investments.
You're on the right path man, I'd love to know what I know now back then but unfortunately time doesn't work like that.
Yeah this is in line with my experience. However there are concerns about the accuracy of quartz clocks as temperatures fluctuate, this poses a problem for some orbital patterns.
As opposed to just running it ad-hoc when a change is made?
People do all sorts of things with terraform, if you need to is down to what you're doing and the context of your problem.
I've even run terraform on a cron like schedule before to ensure configuration of a web service matched what we defined rather than the constant small edits people were making in the console. Eventually the behaviour stopped but no reason not to.
I'm sure nixpkgs will accept your PR (: truly though I've found the community pretty great and if a pkg is already in place it's not a quantum leap to add additional options to it.
It's worth noting that it won't be as simple as plugging in Swarms' payload - there will be singificant necessary engineering work to validate the RF and power characteristics of the integration.
That's quite a nice balance between "auto import and connect everything, dven the stuff you don't want e.g Terraform" and "set it all up yourself".
I'd like to add to that suggestion, let me dis/allow resources from thr automated import with a grep patterm e.g. aws.iam* would allow only iam policies into the import. Negations and such are logical extensions.
> It will make your evaluation a game where the student challenge is not understanding the concept of the class, but instead, understanding the rules of the various test you put in place.
I agree with most of what you have to say, however you're arguing for replacing one 'game' with another. If the goal is not to understand the grading engine then by the same logic the goal is to understand what appeals to whom is marking it.
