SOMEONE ELSES CLOUD: Recent Episodes
Sunny
A video podcast where I share my experiences navigating through this world with technology, career advice, and lifestyle videos.
I am passionate about self development, cultural identity, mental health and discussions around unconventional methods to solve todays problems in tech.
I hope that my content inspires and educates the techies, leaders and content creators of tomorrow.
Ok, so as I mention in the video, I have edited this for an audio only version. I removed about 40 minutes of demonstration content!
So I didn't mention really much on GitHub Permissions, so I updated the blog but at the end of the day branch protection rules and codeowners is what ensures there are code reviews before contributors are allowed to merge code to master! See the blog for more info: https://www.someoneelsescloud.com/episodes/managing-github-organisation-with-terraform-cloud/#github-permissions
In this video, I'll show you how to manage your github organisation with Terraform Cloud, scenarios on how to structure your repositories, using templates to standardise deployments and controls and guardrails to protect you from issues.

Note: OBS made funny noises on some of the screen transitions, so I had to cut them out, thus why the audio volume fluctuates during transitions! If you know OBS and anything about scene transitions and audio, let me know!
