Hosting your Hugo blog on AWS
As already pointed out all this is created as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with terraform. I should mention that I took a shortcut here and instead of writing my own code to do the task I went up using Nickolas Armstrong's code, with a few changes some additions from me. If you are starting from scratch his repo is quite useful and could be used as is. However, I already had a state bucket with encryption and logging enabled, so I haven't used that part of the code.

Managing Your Cloud Resources with Code
There are a number of different Infrastructure as Code frameworks to choose from. Depending on your team's roles and skillsets, one framework might make more sense than the other. We won't dive into them all here, but in the next few posts, I'll cover use cases for AWS CloudFormation, the AWS CDK, and Hashicorp's Terraform.

Disable new "sensitive" terraform apply output
During the apply phase, I don't think there is anything you can do for now. Semi-related, the issue applies to local-exec as well: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/27154

Lessons learned after losing the Terraform state file
Terraform is a infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tool where you describe the desired pieces of infrastructure you need in some config files, then Terraform will create the infrastructure in your cloud provider of choice. Or delete them, or modify them – because Terraform compares the cloud infrastructure state with the expected one. And the expected state is kept in… a state file, right. So if the state file gets lost, Terraform will think it never created those resources in the first place and will try to duplicate everything. Do you see the problem here? Not only your infrastructure will cost double, but you’ll get also all kind of nasty overlappings and cross-pollination between previous and fresh resources and versions. We definitely don’t want that. That is of course only if you don’t pay attention to what terraform plan and terraform apply are trying to do. And that is of course only if you already lost your state file – which can happen quite easily when you keep the file like me in the project directory and you just wiped that in order to clone the project again (unrelated story). Terraform recommends keeping the state remotely, be it in their (free) Terraform Cloud, in an AWS S3 bucket, anywhere else, where even though still not 100% safe it will still have better chances of recovery.

Infrastructure as Code
Hashicorp Terraform is an open-source tool for provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure. It codifies infrastructure in configuration files that describe the topology of cloud resources. These resources include virtual machines, storage accounts, and networking interfaces. The Terraform CLI provides a simple mechanism to deploy and version the configuration files to Azure.

Never write a UserService again
But that's only one aspect of automation. Another is infrastructure-as-code tools, such as Terraform, Ansible or Chef. Using these we can describe the target configuration of the external system, which is typically stored in one or multiple files. These files can then be part of our version control system, and the configuration can be partially dynamic, depending e.g. on the target environment. A separate tool-dependent process then applies the configuration to the external service, adjusting the "current" state with the "desired" state.

AWS: Preemptively create log groups for LambdaEdge functions
To address this, I would like to create those log groups preemptively in Terraform. The problem is that the region would need to be set in the provider meta argument or passed in the providers argument to a module. I had originally thought that I could get the set of all AWS regions using the aws_regions data source and then dynamically create a provider for each region. However, there is currently no way to dynamically generate providers (see https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/24476).

Terraform with Terragrunt
From my personal observation and experience, some drivers to Terragrunt seem to be related to outdated blog posts and this GitHub issue about not being able to use variables in the backend config.
Set values using TF_CLI_ARGS when running terrafrom init. As called out here.
