Just one more update about tools

For the past several years I have worked with Terraform and only Terraform. CloudFormation is not something that I have worked that much with and I feel like I’m in quicksand. I did you use it a lot back when CloudFormation Stacksets got released. I like that I could just deploy a stackset and it then got pushed to all other accounts that I had designated. It worked really well. However tools such as Terraform has come a long way, so doing multiaccount deployments could not be done directly in Terraform. This made deployments really easy.

Keycloak and AWS Client VPN with SAML

I spent a lot of time in the past two weeks figuring out how to use AWS Client VPN with federation (SAML) with Keycloak. For some reason the SAML XML-file that I downloaded from a new realm in Keycloak, and that I had implemented into AWS IAM Identity Provider, went to the Master realm and not the new realm.

Basic Tooling

I read a post a couple of months ago (Sadly, I can’t find the link), about basic tooling for your daily work. You should use one product of every type of thing.

Limiting alchohol consumption

For the past several years there has been cultucal/political trend to limit young people purchasing alcohol such as hard liquor, beer and wine. You have to be above 16 or 18 depending on what you want to buy. I tend to disagree with this trend because I started drinking when I was 15.

The War in Ukraine

I stand with Ukraine. Of course, I do! If your country gets attacked you do whatever you can to defend it. That is what I would do. They have a right to selfdetermination and if they want to join NATO they can. If they want to join the European Union, they have a right to do that as well. It is up to them and hopefully they will do that some day. The aggression of Russia is unacceptable, and thus they will be repelled from Ukraine. I stand with Ukraine!
