@cloudstrata — Infrastructure-as-Code (Iac) tools like Terraform are experiencing fast growing adoption by the developer community. This is no surprise because they greatly simplify the operational overhead associated with deploying and managing cloud infrastructure. In support of this growing trend, today Google announced Google Cloud CLI’s preview release of Declarative Export for Terraform. Declarative Export allows you to export the current state of your Google Cloud infrastructure into a descriptive file compatible with Terraform (HCL) or Google’s KRM declarative tooling. Here’s how it works and why this is useful to your day-to-day cloud development workflows.

When it comes to edge environments, Google Cloud’s role is clear: they treat the edge as the domain of their customers and partners. They do not send remote servers for pickup or preconfigure boxes to sync. Instead, they provide software and tools to configure and maintain all clusters as part of the Anthos suite, combined with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and the open-source Kubernetes.

The evolution of technologies such as containerization, container orchestration, and cloud-native serverless services has given us the ability to develop distributed solutions based on microservices architectures that are both more scalable and more reliable. https://cloudstrata.io/microservices-architecture-on-google-cloud/

This article describes how to integrate ROSA with AWS API Gateway HTTP APIs that are exposed to multiple end users. It thus becomes imperative to ensure that a shared backend service is able to distinguish between different client sources for the purpose of correct execution and auditing. Technically this requires implementing a number of supporting technology patterns such as transparent proxying, wildcard certificates and split-horizon DNS to simplify end-to-end communications using a common custom domain name.
