Terrateam is open source and getting GitLab support

Hello everyone, last year Terrateam went open source! This was a big deal for us. We are a bootstrapped company and the idea of giving away the product for free was really scary to us but the feedback has been really positive.

tl;dr Terrateam is a TACOS inspired by the ideas of Atlantis and is MPL-2.0 licensed. You can manage your infrastructure via pull requests using Terraform and OpenTofu.

The repository is on GitHub: https://github.com/terrateamio/terrateam

We announced that we went open source on r/terraform last year but we know that there isn't complete overlap between there and here, so apologies for the crosspost.

Terrateam is a TACOS focused on what we call "True GitOps". That is to say, the entire product is configured via a config file in your source code. This means your configuration is treated exactly like code and can be branched, tested, merged, and reverted just like code. We believe that Terrateam should let users leverage their existing workflows and tools and almost be invisible. You should never have to leave your GitHub development workflow to accomplish a task in Terrateam.

We are a lot like Atlantis and build upon its the conceptual foundation, but we are not a fork. If you're familiar with Atlantis then Terrateam will make sense. It is MPL-2.0 except for a few features (so yes, technically we are "open-core"), and we think those features are ones that only larger organizations need.

Right now we only support GitHub but the most common pieces of feedback we got is to support GitLab, so we have moved GitLab support up to the #1 priority for this quarter. Which is funny, because for the entire closed-source lifetime of the product we have been resistant to supporting GitLab. We kept on telling yourselves that "GitHub is where all the developers are" but that's one of the strengths in going open source, it gave more people the opportunity to let us know what we should be doing different.

We have been really inspired by the Tim O'Reilly saying: create more value than you capture. As a bootstrapped company we think we are in a position to focus on doing right by the community.

If you're interested in trying Terrateam out locally, there are instructions in the README.

Thank you for reading and happy 2025.

Need tips on working with >100gb builds

I'm working with Chromium which is larger than 100gb. Building it fully takes about 3-4 hours on my hardware and I'm looking for ways to simplify the process.

After building it, I need to patch my own version onto it, which only takes 10-20 minutes.

I will need to compile the final artifact to work on all platforms (Win, Linux, Mac), so it would require an instance for Win/Linux, and another one just for Mac.

I'll be using AWS for this project. Our stack also includes EKS, Github Actions, Argo.

Before I go an start doing things I'm trying to figure out the big picture. How would I automate/IaC it and what would be the flow of things.

I would want some sort of cron that pulls the latest version of Chromium and builds it, and save it in some form of storage which my other instances can access. So I'm imagining something like this:

curl https://my-browser.tar.gz
tar -xf >> cd //network-storage/chromium/my-browser
diff apply my-browser > //network-storage/chromium/

build everything

Anyone has any experience with this? Any tips would be great.

With daily deploys, how do you keep users updated?

Generate value and deploy often is summary of devops philosophy. But users don't want daily mails or long changelogs to read through. How do you balance the two?

Using Helm without sudo

I've done a lot of Docker and Docker Compose, but I'm a bit new to Helm and K8s

I'm trying to install and use helm with k3s (NOT kubernetes, just k3s), but I've noticed that I need to run sudo helm for many commands.

Online I also see many users/example commands of sudo helm ...

Do you have to be sudo/root to use helm? Or am I missing a group or file permission change somewhere?

This reminds me of how you have to add your user to the docker group after first installing Docker, otherwise your user cannot access the Docker daemon socket.

Overwhelmed?

Hi everyone,

About a year ago, I offered some free 30-minute consultations to those new to DevOps or feeling overwhelmed, and I'm thrilled that I was able to help a few people with their struggles.

I'm back and opening up more slots for individuals looking to break into DevOps or juniors eager to grow their careers by working more efficiently and solving tasks more quickly.

With nearly 10 years of DevOps experience, I'm here simply to help those who might be struggling in this space. While I won't be doing any coding during our chats, I'm happy to assist with specific tasks on a high level.

Here's a little about me: I have experience with Kubernetes, CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub, etc.), Docker, Python, AWS/Azure. I understand how daunting this landscape can be and want to ease that path for you as much as possible.

If this sounds like something you need, feel free to PM me with a brief description of your situation and struggles. Let's see how I can help out.

Check out my original post here to see how it all started: Original post

Looking forward to connecting with more of you!

Which certificates are essential for applying as a DevOps engineer in 2025?

Hello everyone,



I would like to become a DevOps engineer and am currently working on roadmap.sh/devops. I would then like to specialize in container orchestration because a family member of mine has an IT company in this area and told me that he was still looking for employees. I would like to know which certificates are generally important for an application these days? In general, I would also like to know which skills a DevOps engineer should definitely master in 2025 in order to have job opportunities in the future.

Thank you very much.

Targe: Open-Source IAM CLI for managing cloud access without navigating the provider UI

Hi everyone 👋

I’m one of the maintainers of the Go OSS project Targe, an open-source CLI for managing cloud access with AI assistance.

Repository: [https://github.com/Permify/targe](https://github.com/Permify/targe)

# IAM Is the Worst

To give a quick disclosure, we specialize in developing access control solutions.

As we work and collaborate with folks in the IAM space, we’ve repeatedly observed the same challenges, and we’re focusing on addressing them. When I say IAM is the worst, I mean it.

Manually assigning cloud permissions wastes hours, as DevOps teams deal with ambiguous role names, endless back-and-forth with requesters, over-provisioned roles filled with unnecessary permissions, and the difficulty of identifying and scoping the exact permissions needed for custom roles.

# We aim to simplify and speed up the grunt work

That’s why we’ve created Targe, although its has very limited capabilities right now - we would love to hear your feedback.

# How it Works?

1. Configure your cloud credentials to enable Targe to access resources in your infrastructure. Currently, Targe supports only AWS.
2. Start an access flow with three major commands ([see an example access flow](https://github.com/Permify/targe#start-an-access-flow-manually))
* `~ % targe aws users`  | Grant or revoke access to/from a user.
* `~ % targe aws groups` | Attach or detach a policy to/from a group.
* `~ % targe aws roles` | Attach or detach a policy to/from a role.
3. Preview the access action and complete the access request.
4. (Bonus) Use AI to create an access command to fulfill an access request.

**Looking forward to your feedback!!**

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Also if you appreciate our project, please consider giving us a star on [GitHub](https://github.com/Permify/targe). We appreciate your support.

2. round interview tomorrow for Platform Engineering, what to expect?

Hey there!

I'm a software engineer trying to make a switch into platform engineering, and I've got a second round interview tomorrow which I am both excited and nervous about!

I know the job involves Kubernetes and such and I've been honest in that I have no real knowledge with it but I am taking courses to become as productive as I can from day one. I have some CI/CD experience with pipelines in Azure. My angle in the first interview was that I'm young with decent IT admin/software engineering experience and is very eager to make a switch into platform engineering which seems like a decent middleground between the two fields.


Any recommendations or tips? Much appreciated :)

How Do DevOps Engineers Connect with Business Goals?

Hi everyone,

I’m an engineering manager overseeing both application and DevOps teams. I’ve noticed that while my application engineers often align their work with business objectives—like feature delivery, customer impact, or revenue growth—my DevOps engineers seem more focused on infrastructure reliability, performance, and cost optimization.

These are, of course, critical goals, and I deeply value their expertise. But I sometimes wonder: do DevOps engineers generally feel connected to the bigger picture of business outcomes? Or do they see their role as primarily technical, serving as enablers for others to achieve those outcomes?

More importantly, how can I, as a manager, better bridge this gap? Are there ways you’ve seen DevOps teams become more engaged with business goals without feeling like they’re being pulled away from their core responsibilities?

I’m genuinely curious and looking for insights to foster a stronger sense of purpose and alignment across my teams.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and perspectives!

Terminal with blocks feature (like Warp Terminal)

I recently tested Warp terminal, and one feature that truly amazed me is the blocks feature. Each command you execute is stored as a block, allowing you to filter specific lines within that block. It's incredibly intuitive and useful, and I haven’t come across any other terminal offering something similar.

Do any of you know a terminal that has this feature? Or perhaps a way to emulate it?

How hard is it to break into the US market as a UK citizen?

Bit of a sensitive topic but with this recent H1B fiasco going on. I've always wondered how people from mainly India are getting these H1B visas but I have yet to meet another British person that has migrated to the states other than the L1 Visa. I have tried myself for a few years now.

I personally have over 5 years experience as a DevOps enginner. Currently do work for a US company but live in Canada and it isn't something they offer. I do apply and hope for the best but i am curious if anyone else has any insight?
