• How we moved from Artifactory and saved $200k p.a. Part 3 of 5 - The future is Advanced Artefacts

  Going back to enforcing convention and consistency we leveraged AWS Service Catalog with several custom templates to help us create new repositories. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• How do they create the temporary AWS environments for individual teams for the jam sessions in AWS Summit/re-invent?

• Dev Environments: An Essential Tool for Software Quality

  One approach is to use AWS Control Tower. Control Tower works in conjunction with AWS Organizations, which enables the creation and management of multiple AWS accounts under a single master account. You can use Control Tower in conjunction with AWS Service Catalog to offer your dev stack as a service catalog offering that developers can install into their accounts.

• Failed to connect to the host via SSH on Ubuntu 22.04

  If you have just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and you suddenly experience either errors when trying to ssh into hosts, or when running ansible or again when running the ansible provisioner building a packer image, this is probably going to be useful for you. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Create a minimalist OS using Docker Containers and Hashicorp Packer

  I am already using Hashicorp Packer at work and for personal projects and I wanted to test This idea out by wrapping it a single Packer Template file. This reduces the level of maintaining a lot of small scripts, Dockerfiles and configurations and the user can simply trigger a couple of Commands to get a minimalist OS at the end of the process. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won.

  And while it is a slight increase in complexity, it can be an overall net gain in functionality, configurability and reliability. Much like Packer is far more reliable and practical than manually making VM images sitting in front of a terminal, even though making the initial configuration takes some time.

• Customized Ubuntu Images using Packer + QEMU + Cloud-Init & UEFI bootloading

  Hashicorp Packer provides a nice wrapper / abstraction over the QEMU in order to boot the image and use it to set it up on first-boot. Instead of writing really long commands in order to boot up the image using QEMU, Packer provided a nice Configuration Template in a more Readable fashion. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• The journey of sharing a wired USB printer over the network

  Packer seemed like the perfect tool for the job. I have never used it before and wanted to get familiar with the tool. It doesn't come with ARM support out of the box, but there are two community projects to fill that niche. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
