The recommended Homebrew process for keeping up to date with HashiCorp products has been, and continues to be, the HashiCorp tap. Example:
brew tap hashicorp/tap
brew install hashicorp/tap/terraform
src: developer.hashicorp.com/terr…

Proud to say I built the @HashiCorp stack that supports this service. We did this with a 3 man team and Nomad was key to our success.
✈️ Flying internationally on @AlaskaAir with a U.S. or Canadian passport? We’ve got you covered! 🇺🇲🇨🇦
Introducing the Alaska Airlines Mobile Verify Service on the Airside App. Enroll your passport then share it safely and privately with Alaska Airlines to skip the check-in line.
How will you spend that extra time? 😎

I’m looking for my next opportunity and would be hugely grateful for a signal boost. Multiple years experience with SaaS/PaaS/IaaS, working on multi-product portfolios, leading product design, research, brand, web presence, & design ops teams, in hyper-scale times and lean times. Love working on tools for builders & makers, and drawn to wicked problems, emergent technologies, and making the web (and world) better. DMs open 🤍
Apparently using the "Woman Leader in Tech" thing as an angle to reach out for help and then try to sell you something is a thing now... 😳 Happened to me twice this week and it's not even Friday yet.
The new global management plane for Consul is now available as a free public beta. Try it out to gain full visibility for both self-managed and HCP Consul clusters. hashicorp.com/blog/new-hcp-b…

Second, is Hermes. We have a document heavy culture (PRDs, RFCs, memos, etc) and we've invested in internal tooling to make it easier to author, publish, discover, and subscribe to relevant documents. hashicorp.com/blog/introduci…

50K Consul clients in a single cluster is a big number. And distributed systems are cool.
Favorite Consul case study is Criteo, 260K service instances but multiple clusters across 8 DCs.

We ran a scale test to observe gossip stability risk failure for Consul deployments with more than 50,000 clients — here’s what the test revealed: hashi.co/3GIz8Po

If you are at #hashiconf and use Consul, come see me talk about operating it at scale at 12:15 tomorrow (hallway track). Talk will focus on reliability and operational concerns.
Super proud to see this announced, this represents the hard work from engineering, product and design on my team at Hashicorp.

A @awscloud Lambda and Oracle DB walk into a bar and @HashiCorp Consul now has a solution for the two to talk securely. Hashicorp announced Lambda support in Consul. This is something I’ve been asking about for years. ctoadvisor.substack.com/p/a-…

Someone asked for advice on how to navigate tech as a woman.
Here are my tips. Ladies, feel free to add more.

Super excited about this talk! We've got an awesome live demo planned with Consul federated across 4+ runtimes... 🤞demo gods 😁
Operators today face an ever-growing list of runtimes to support. In their #HashiConf Europe deep-dive, @lkysow and Eric Haberkorn share how #Consul unifies networking across runtimes and helps implement zero-trust security and increase reliability. hashiconf.com/europe

Nothing really changes except more ways of saying "thoughts and prayers". Why do we make it so easy to buy these weapons of mass destruction in the name of gun rights.
Slack did an incident report on their February outage - nice writeup on complex system failures. They were in the process of upgrading their Consul client agents when it started (though the root cause wasn't Consul itself it was a contributing factor) slack.engineering/slacks-inc…
