      <description>Today I made a small tweak to my CodeShip build/deployment pipeline. I had previously been committing the public/ directory containing all of the generated assets for this website to my remote repo, which is definitely not best practice. This was also creating a problem where I&amp;rsquo;d need to &amp;lsquo;re-deploy&amp;rsquo; the site by running hugo server locally to generate all of the public assets before committing changes and pushing them to the remote master - if I failed to do this step the new changes would not be written to my S3 bucket by CodeShip.</description>

      <description>Tear it down and automate! Today I completely tore down my existing infrastructure for this static website and rebuilt the entire thing in Terraform! They say you never truly understand something until you can write automation, tear it down, and rebuild it in just a few minutes. See updates to the git repo here.
One step closer in the pursuit of everything-as-code!
This site still relies on the same underlying infrastructure: AWS S3 for static hosting, Route53 for DNS, and CloudFront for CDN and SSL, but I also integrated a CI/CD pipeline using CodeShip to automate the build and deployment of this website to my production S3 bucket.</description>

      <description>Here&amp;rsquo;s what I&amp;rsquo;m up to today.  Studying python Alerts as code! Continuing my work on templatizing alerts and dashboards in Terraform, using the Wavefront TF provider integration. Creating a framework to programmatically manage all of my team&amp;rsquo;s active alerts and dashboards in Wavefront using Terraform. Making small tweaks to this Hugo site.  to-do list includes:  add an &amp;ldquo;about me&amp;rdquo; &amp;amp; skills section configure the infrastructure in terraform (s3 buckets, route53 dns assignments, cloudfront distribution) set up ci/cd pipeline using codeship for automatic deployments      </description>

      <description>Update: Hugo I recently reconfigured my static website (still hosted at cloud.ericfuerstenberg.com) into a more feature rich site using Hugo - you&amp;rsquo;re looking at it right now! This allows me to make use of style templates and other feature enhancements while keeping things simple with markdown.
You can find the Hugo-ified version of my website in my Github repo.
I&amp;rsquo;ve hosted static sites using a number of different strategies in the past.</description>

      <description>Notes step by step: 04/15/20
1. working with terraform and ec2
- creating instances using amis
- running bootstrap script to configure instance as webserver
- configure security groups (ingress/egress on ports 80 &amp;amp; 443)
- assign security groups to ec2 instances
- capture public/private ips of instances as output
 to do:
1. configure this static side in hugo
2. set up s3 bucket for static hosting in aws and use terraform to manage this process</description>
