Windows is gaining useful CLI tools while Apple messed up with the batteries in their iPhones.

Recently I had the opportunity to add a major feature to the Azure builder in Packer. This article is a written version of a presentation I gave about this at the Golang Melbourne meetup and is aimed at looking at the technical parts of that feature and how a builder actually works within Packer.

Kubecon, the annual Kubernetes conference was held and some interesting new and improved tools were announced and/or released during that period.

It was re:Invent week which means that AWS announced many new toys for us to play with, of which I'll discuss the containers and serverless parts today. Oh, and there was a major security issue in macOS.

Together with my colleagues at Bulletproof we wondered if we could do something fun and interesting to help the charity Movember. This quickly turned into a brainstorming session that resulted in a number of ideas, where we eventually settled on Mo-lebrity: a site where someone can take a photo of themselves and see which moustache-wearing celebrity they look the most like.

GitHub introduces team discussions and a roundup of some of the announcements AWS wanted out of the way before re:Invent.

Mozilla released Firefox Quantum while both Visual Studio Code and Atom introduce live code collaboration.

AWS switches hypervisor for their new C5 instances and introduces PrivateLinks while GCP adds DNSSEC to their DNS.

AWS released the Direct Connect Gateway, Amazon wants access to your house with Key, and Azure gives us a powerful new tool for Kubernetes.

The KRACK attack was disclosed and Kubernetes will be built into Docker.

GitHub shows dependencies, AWS finally allows multiple SSL certificates, AWS and Microsoft work together on Gluon, and a new Kindle Oasis.

An application development stack from Oracle and new Pixels and other hardware from Google.

This is a shorter version of my Hardening Your AWS Environment presentation, originally posted on the Bulletproof blog.

When I write something on this site I often refer to a previous article. So today I'll be detailing how I've made my life easier to do so on both iOS and macOS.

My feature request for Bitbucket Pipelines was implemented, Cloudflare had several good announcements, and Amazon launches new Echos.
