this may be one of my favorite pieces of 2020, judging by the shit-eating grin on my face as I read it: a thoroughgoing doomsday investigation into recreating your entire infra from scratch using Terraform and AWS, by @vonfreud of SignalAI. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€˜" title="Sign of the horns" aria-label="Emoji: Sign of the horns">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ’„" title="Collision symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Collision symbol"> https://fmarques.org/disaster-recovery-with-terraform-aws-and-a-few-lessons-learned/">https://fmarques.org/disaster-...
