What if Terraform updated your Ansible inventory automatically? Or if Vault handled OpenShift secrets out of the box?

We’re working with Red Hat to make infrastructure automation and security easier.

More automation. More security. Less manual work. ⚡🔒

Controversial take in the #Burger wars, but I quite enjoy some In & Out. It may or may not help that they don't exist in Florida.

Sad to see the recent turn of events with Pat Gelsinger, especially as the story continues to unfold. The #Gelsinger era at #VMware was a great time, marked by strong community support and principled leadership. It's hard to imagine anyone else more motivated to revive #Intel.

Quite excited about #Terraform v1.10 release 🚀. It's introducing ephemeral resources and values, which are read anew during each phase of Terraform evaluation, and aren't persisted in state. I think this gives us a better story around safely storing sensitive values.
