marekafon Most common mistakes using Terraform

We had the chance to see quite a bit of infrastructures in our years of experience with AWS, GCP and Azure and we see some mistakes being repeated. No shame in that, we’ve done most of these too!

I’ll try to show the ones we see very often and talk a bit about how to fix them.

I agree! I assumed not to trust anyone with all the greedy pods they can schedule.

The example you are describing is probably not super common but I will try to rephrase my blogpost so that it reflects this comment:)

You are right, but talking about whether to use k8s or not would make the article 2-3x longer. It is a totally different topic.

ECS (with Fargate or EC2) is awesome but one might argue that it is still an overkill for a lot of people.

Some people look for scaling, immutability, effective resource utilization and they think they NEED containers. That is not entirely true. A lot of people would do totally ok with one EC2 instance.

Either way, kubernetes is awesome, there is a big community behind it maintaining a lot of tooling, docs, how-to guides, etc. That is very valuable for a lot of people too :)
