What do you hope to achieve this week?

It's been a busy week over here in Ops Land, so we're diving right in today and kicking off with some of our new members' contributions:

A warm welcome 👋

to @frank_idugboe_12828c3bc63, who joined us with this comparative overview of architecture types 🤗 speaking of which, Frank would love to know more from all y'all:

I will love to know which architecture you are currently using or plan to use and why you choose it. You can put those in the comment box.

If architecture isn't your thing, @ralexrdz introduced themselves here and would also love to hear from you! Stop by and say "hello" to Raul if you get a moment 😊

Meanwhile, @lfuleki has a question about Oracle and Azure and pipelines that @xaviermignot has helpfully had a go at answering, so if you'd like to add some ideas to the conversation, you know what to do 😉

And to @jcriosvi and all our new members this week, you are also warmly welcomed! We would be delighted to meet you in the Welcome Thread.

👉 If you're new here and would like some suggestions for people to follow who share your interests, we welcome you to share a bit about what you're working on and what you're like to learn and share!

We have had such treat of terrific content this past week. Some of my highlights include:

• This helpful post from the Lob team on starting a new job as a Staff+ level engineer ✨
• A couple of in-depth posts from the Blink team: this one from @johnson_brad kicking off a new series on operational excellence with an intro to nocode automations for DevOps, and one from @patrick_londa on manually rotating your GCP keys as a security (a follow-up to Patrick's post from last week about retiring unused AWS passwords) 🔐
• We had a healthy dose of #iac this week, with @argonaut comparing infrastructure-as-code tools, @eriklz running us through a tutorial to import resources into a Pulumi stack, and @javi_labs sharing a tutorial on writing a Terraform module that will allow you to read and write to an external service that doesn't have a Terraform provider. To everyone who created (and anyone who kept up with) all this great content, every single one of y'all are my hero of the week 🦸‍♀️
• For those who make it out to AWS re:Invent, you know the PagerDuty team were repping, as always, while @jatin made sure we got a fresh tutorial for the newly-revealed service AWS CodeCatalyst mentioned in @eyalestrin's summary of Werner Vogels' keynote, and Eyal made sure we didn't miss Adam Selipsky's keynote either!! 🔥

We really do have the most helpful and supportive community, don't we? 🌈

What are you planning for the week ahead?

👉 Let me and the community know by commenting below. I may not be able to keep up with y'all 😅 but I'll do my best to check back with you next week to see how it went!
