This week is dedicated to providing you with the skills and knowledge to automate routine tasks, create scripts to solve complex problems, and manage infrastructure as code. As we look at scripting languages like Python and Bash, and explore the various Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platforms like OpenTofu and Ansible, you'll discover how automation forms the backbone of SRE's capability to manage large-scale, reliable services. The upcoming days are going to be a blend of learning, practicing, and grokking the art of automation and scripting.

Duckbill breaks down their method of accessing thousands of client AWS accounts in a way that preserves ease-of-access, maintains data confidentiality, and still providing all the permissions needed.

Open source Terraform Registry.

Explain complex systems using visuals and simple terms.

Whether you're preparing for a System Design Interview or you simply want to understand how systems work beneath the surface, we hope this repository will help you achieve that.

Over the past 2 years, we’ve built a comprehensive vulnerability management program at Lyft. This blog post will focus on the systems we’ve built to address OS and OS-package level vulnerabilities in a timely manner across hundreds of services run on Kubernetes.

KrakenD Community Edition: High-performance, stateless, declarative, API Gateway written in Go.

Tabby is a self-hosted AI coding assistant, offering an open-source and on-premises alternative to GitHub Copilot.

Or, Eleven things we have learned as Site Reliability Engineers at Google

1. The riskiness of a mitigation should scale with the severity of the outage
2. Recovery mechanisms should be fully tested before an emergency
3. Canary all changes
4. Have a "Big Red Button"
5. Unit tests alone are not enough - integration testing is also needed
6. COMMUNICATION CHANNELS! AND BACKUP CHANNELS!! AND BACKUPS FOR THOSE BACKUP CHANNELS!!!
7. Intentionally degrade performance modes
8. Test for Disaster resilience
9. Automate your mitigations
10. Reduce the time between rollouts, to decrease the likelihood of the rollout going wrong
11. A single global hardware version is a single point of failure

The new Terraform version v1.6.0 introduce a test framework, named “Terraform test”. Here’s how to use it.

Cluster.dev is an open-source tool designed to manage cloud native infrastructures with simple declarative manifests - infrastructure templates. The infrastructure templates could be based on Terraform modules, Kubernetes manifests, Shell scripts, Helm charts, Kustomize and ArgoCD/Flux applications, OPA policies etc. Cluster.dev sticks those components together so that you could deploy, test and distribute a whole set of components with pinned versions.
