Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- Infrastructure as Code Tool Recommendation for GCP

It's worth apply the CFT (Cloud Foundation Toolkit) with terraform in an gcp org that is already running workloads?
If your company is k8s centric and the developers are most comfortable with k8s, you might want to focus more on something specific to k8s such as helm, or even if you don't get into helm you may want to use config connector in your yaml to manage GCP resources in an IaC compliant method. You can manage k8s resources with terraform, but if your developers are currently comfortable working directly with k8s you are going to see significant pushback getting them to add terraform as a middleware. You probably still want to manage your GKE clusters and VPCs with terraform since you can't really use config connector.

Ask HN: Have You Left Kubernetes?
Config Connector [1] is also an option in this space for GCP, it supports many GCP resources and thus far our experience with it has been largely positive.

As Argo CD momentum grows, Codefresh launches hosted GitOps
We use it heavily with GCP's Kubernetes Config Connector to provision architecture. It could similarly be used for Cloud Functions, etc. given a repo URL that GCP can access. GitOps + operator pattern is a pretty powerful mechanism to let k8s continuously seek state towards your ideal. https://cloud.google.com/config-connector/docs/overview

What should I learn to improve as a data engineer?
For K8s, we were using Cloud Composer to do it for us but wanted more fine control over CI/CD, so we decided to go with Airflow on K8s. That's all hosted in GKE now and deployed using ArgoCD with helm. This also led down the IaC rabbit hole which has been a ton of fun too. We use the GCP ConfigConnector resources for that which is a little challenging at first, but gets a lot easier as time goes on.

Best IaC platforms
Terraform is 90% of cloud IaC. But there are newer Kubernetes Operators like Config Connector that can create cloud specific resources.
- What is the story with Google Deployment Manager? Is Google going to abandon it at some point?
- Infra Provisioning, what do you guys use today?
-
K8s pods security in GCP
It works particularly well with Google Config Connector as then it's all just manifests.

Ask HN: Startup Devs -What's your biggest pain while managing cloud deployments?
- How do we secure?
You can use this approach for each step along the way, how to secure secrets in your cloud? code? IaC? container deployments? CI/CD?
If we assume infra / app is code, the tooling matters a lot less. How do you provision certificates via IaC? How do you grant IAM to resources and how do you revoke?
There are examples like https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-exampl... of more advanced IaC architectures, but you can start as small or as complex as you want and evolve if done properly.
Personally, I love me some Kubernetes + ArgoCD (GitOps) + Google Workload Identity + Google Secret Manager, but I am 100% biased.

Are there any good sample repos for enterprise grade Infrastructure?
Also looked for something similar, and unfortunately didnt find one. Based our enterprise repo off the caf model (not using the module) similar to this google repo: https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-example-foundation

I failed the Terraform Associate 002
How did I tackle this exam? 1. On github there is an example foundation for GCP on terraform. https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-example-foundation I went through this week after week to help me learn. I made customizations and I deployed and destroyed over and over again, making changes. I used this to create a basic organization with a website, this is how I learnt.
- Is there a guide to setup a fresh GCP account to make it easy to use Terraform?
-
Want to learn Terraform setup
If you are looking to setup a new cloud project with Terraform, then that is an another thing. For GCP, Google offers a toolkit: https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-example-foundation
- How you structure your terraform state?
- It's worth apply the CFT (Cloud Foundation Toolkit) with terraform in an gcp org that is already running workloads?
- Can anyone recommend "the" book for *how* to setup a large distributed, scalable enterprise-level infrastructure on GCP (with GKE probably)?
-
Advanced terraform projects.
https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-example-foundation maybe have a look at the layer approach from Google?
