infra 3.0 here we come.

our first company tshirts said “major tom, this is cloud control”; and we are still committed to that mission… BUT… i was listening to a podcast recently and the interviewee codified our message even better (albeit, referring to software writlarge) “[we are] moving from RULES-based management in software, to GOALS-based management [in software]…” THIS is how we should be thinking about architecture. cloud infrastructure. hell, *everything* it’s not about right sizing. it’s not about your freaking workflows. it’s about the goals OF YOUR CUSTOMERS how well YOU understand them. and how WELL you built your application to meet those needs. *end rant* 🖖

really excited to share our new documentation 🥳 we took “do things that don’t scale” seriously… all docs up until this point were written in a public google doc. 😂 automated readme updates (and a custom domain added to the site) will ensure accessible, accurate, up-to-date, information for engineers and solution architects looking to level up their cloud governance game. https://lnkd.in/gCpVpWZN

Great insight from Webloo's DevOps Team Lead, Mustapha, on how BlueArch's CLI is elevating the game of cloud governance!

now you can run the bluearch CLI right from your cloudshell env; and it. is. fast. :) we also made dozens of recommendations and remediation options... free! try it out by using the proper curl command below: MAC OS: curl "https://lnkd.in/gNExppdT" -o "bluearch.zip" unzip bluearch.zip sudo ./bluearch/arm64/install LINUX (+cloudshell) & Windows WSL curl "https://lnkd.in/gPgh7sKK" -o "bluearch.zip" unzip bluearch.zip sudo ./bluearch/x86/install **NOTE**: bluearch is self-hosted software and does not collect, store, or share any usage data.

i talk a lot about the "data mesh" culture (thank you Kara for turning me on to the phrase!), and how finops is following suit; good to see it be formally recognized by the FinOps Foundation! this is precisely why we (BlueArch) decided to go the not-so-traditional route and build a CLI tool (as opposed to a dashboard)... ...to empower every engineer to ship secure, cost efficient, performant, and reliable applications from the comfort of their terminal.

for the love of OSS
