Totally Terraform (Or, Introducing Terraform DevOps Cloud Engineer Proceedures to A Company) [Updated March 2022]

 Want to share this post easily? Here's a Notion page !   9/20: Terraform is now  OpenTofu   I got to teach myself Terraform, but that's what this entire blog is about; Teaching myself things and hoping for work sometimes to make money and being employed by multiple people. You can be the next one! Anyway, what do I like about Terraform? A lot. Including all the troubleshooting and digging into new things. The Numbers on What Was Made: Project : 1 Resources created : 7 Virtual Machine Network Interface Virtual Network Security Rule attached to Security Group Security Group (with outputs) Subnet Public IP address Many of these resources are attached to each other - The Network Interface is attached to the Virtual Machine, and they’re both in a Security Group which has Security Rules attached to it.

Using Azure Data Studio and SQL Database

    As part of one of my Data Science Scholarships, I am allowed to download the database files. So I thought, why not stick them in a database on Azure for some learning.  They didn't say I couldn't.  LEARN LEARN LEARN. After opening Azure Data Studio, hit 'New Connection'. In order to get the entire server name, go back to azure and your SQL Database, and under 'Settings' on the far left, hit 'Connection Strings'.

The Emoji Ideal; Apple's Memoji and Samsung Galaxy's AR Emoji

I'm here to compare; Because digital dollmakers are a hallmark of my past, present, and future.   Galaxy's AR emoji were a surprise to me, something I learned when placing images for contacts. I realized I saw one multiple times on a website someone was using for personal branding. Besides that, I'm not sure I've ever seen them in the wild. Maybe because I can't figure out how to get to the app on my phone without going to my contacts section - and no one else can either. Because of their simplicity of the smooth heads, emotions on Apple's people emoji - memoji - look better to me.  

Connecting VMs Together in a Virtual Network (Azure)

Check out a better formatted version of this post here , on my Notion. Here - Don't be dismayed by the instructions. The GUI Way? Peering VNets. The Powershell way? A bit more involved. Today's Events: Configure a network security group + security rules using Powershell. The application server should connect to the database server over HTTP. BUT the database server shouldn't use HTTP to connect to the application server.

My Shoes Have Bluetooth and I Must Scream: UnderArmor's Hovr and MapMyRun

 Other potential titles included "Walking With the Enemy" and "Internet of Shoestrings". I'm not against the concept of the Internet of Things - IoT - but the severe lack of security installed on a commercial level, the lack of education for end users, and the growing reliance on technology in our world. The people who are best at their job have hobbies away from the machine. Some of mine include exercise, running, walking - I go through sneakers quick and hard. So I got some cool shoes - Under Armor HOVR .    They're not on the site but here they are. I got them from an outlet mall, could be discontinued.   I didn't realize until I got home that they had the Bluetooth insignia both within them and on the box.  

Dartwood 2K QHD USB Webcam with Built-in Microphone

    There are few reviews about this product across the web - Target has the most, and the "company's" own site has none. Makes me think this is sold under various names. It was less expensive than the initial webcam I was looking at and easily returnable. Does the low price pay off?
