Static scanners validate composition and risk, but often miss whether a built image actually behaves like the runtime you intend to ship. dgoss (Goss + Docker wrapper) turns images into testable runtime contracts for CI/CD.
Terraform's version constraints for providers and modules behave differently due to distinct persistence rules. Understanding which operators to use—and where—is essential for balancing stability with upgradeability.
How to treat Terraform modules as classes and module instances as objects to build scalable, maintainable infrastructure architectures using OOP principles.
Cron on EC2 works, but carries unnecessary operational risk. Modern AWS architectures treat time as an event source using EventBridge, Lambda, SQS, and ECS Fargate for reliable, scalable serverless scheduling.
Serverless compute significantly reduces PCI-DSS scope by eliminating infrastructure layers that normally require patching and monitoring. Compliance becomes a configuration problem rather than an operational one.
A sustainable Terraform architecture balances environment parity, isolation, and autonomy. This guide evaluates patterns like folder-per-environment, workspaces, and per-service roots to help you choose the right structure.
Most containerized workloads run more efficiently on proprietary cloud container services. Kubernetes is justified only when you need cross-environment portability or deep extensibility.
Why idempotent or fully reproducible Dockerfiles are frequently promoted but often misplaced objectives compared to immutable artifacts and regular CI rebuilds.
