Using #OpenSource tools at work? 🤔

Yes. We cannot avoid, as DevOps engineers.
But using open-source tools at work is not the same as it is at home.

Here's why. 🧵🧵🧵

3/3: Proven Drop-in Compatibility & Simplified Migration:

OpenTofu was created as a fork of Terraform from its latest open-source version (1.5.6). This foundational compatibility makes it a "true drop-in replacement".

1/3: Commitment to Open-Source Principles:

OpenTofu operates under the MPL 2.0 open-source license, a key distinction from Terraform's shift to a Business-Source License (BSL 1.1) since v1.6. This commitment aligns with organizations prioritizing true open-source values.

2/3: Implementation of Long-Requested Features & Enhanced Functionality:

OpenTofu has introduced features highly desired by the Terraform community but ignored by Hashicorp.
Ex: state encryption, early variable evaluation, better with third-party tooling

Identify locks and blocking SQL

Locks ensure data integrity by denying concurrent writes to the same data.
But locks hinder performance by blocking other SQL queries.

Now you can identify blocking and blocked SQL queries easily with CloudWatch Database Insights.

@ModestMitkus Technical content writing

[Indika @indikaimk]

@WrongsToWrite How effective asking this type of question from a set of highly skilled marketers. The opinion of the general public could be different.

[Indika @indikaimk]

Most writer and creators are readers too.

But they do not read social media posts.

They read long-form content like books and articles.

So, if you want to be a writer or creator, start reading long-form content now. There's no substitute to reading long-form.
