@ringods (@DanielJonesEB here) I don't think we do, I'm afraid.

I'll add it to the list of 'bench' projects for when we have folks with some spare time between engagement

[EngineerBetter @EngineerBetter]

@ringods Great question! The per-environment pipeline has optional jobs that are manually triggered and perform do tear-down.

So the sequence would be remove the file, then run the tear-down job.

Engineer @c_r_simmons wrote a simple tool to make configuring @concourseci authentication less error-prone and more reproducible:

What's more, he wrote a blog post to explain how to configure Concourse auth more generally!

Not only can you deploy @concourseci on AWS or GCP with a single command using Control Tower, but now you can install Control Tower with a single command thanks to Homebrew!

Engineer @jessicastenning wrote a quickstart guide on how to deploy any BOSH release using Quarks:

All the BOSH benefits of lifecycle management, credential generation, links and ops files, with minor retooling.

[EngineerBetter @EngineerBetter]

Ever been frustrated by "max containers reached" in @concourseci?

@AndyPaine wrote up the two things you need to do to increase the limit.

https://t.co/kJT9HDiFQM

He also explains why the limit is there, and also how many containers we could start before things fell over.

[EngineerBetter @EngineerBetter]

Engineer @AndyPaine wrote up how he deployed a Consul service mesh inside #CloudFoundry to provide mutual TLS and metrics for container-to-container communications.

"The work we did with you has paid us massive dividends with the remote working process. We as a team are really grateful for that."

Lockdown-related quote from folks at @Unit2Games, who @EngineerBetter remote mob-programmed with last year, looking at @concourseci & #Kubernetes.

[Dan Young @dan0young]

With a mix of anxiety, pride, gratitude and optimism I'm saying goodbye to my friends at @EngineerBetter, to explore new ideas and work closer to home. The last 4 years has been incredible; thanks to everyone who helped make it so rewarding. https://t.co/M70J5S45vD

[EngineerBetter @EngineerBetter]

Control Tower 0.9.0 is out, which deploys Concourse 5.8.0!

All AWS Control Tower uses MUST upgrade to this before February 5th 2020, as AWS are rolling their RDS CA cert. Just run Control Tower's self-update pipeline and you should be fine.
