Hey ππ½ Happy new week! Tobi and I met up last week and spent some time planning the videos ahead. Weβre going more and more into YouTube β and a few things Iβm hyped about:
We love AI. But we still want to teach the real-world basics that nobody else covers. Which is exactly why Iβm excited about todayβs sponsor: Kestra. Iβve talked a lot about TEAM β the AWS solution for automating temporary admin access. TEAM is great. But it has one hard limit: your devs almost always need access to more than just AWS. The moment Azure or another cloud enters the picture, TEAM stops at the door. This is where Kestra comes in. Rather watch a video? Weβve recorded one for you ππ½ β

One workflow engine for AWS, Azure, and everything in between
Kestra is a YAML-first orchestrator built for infrastructure and DevOps automation. Write a workflow once, pause it for human approval in Slack, and let Kestra handle running, retrying, logging, and cleanup. 1200+ plugins, any language for script tasks, self-hosted or cloud. In today's deep dive we use it to build a cross-cloud just-in-time access portal that even AWS TEAM can't cover. This issue is sponsored by Kestra. We only partner with tools we'd actually use ourselves.
Amazing that you're reading until here! Check out Kestra here :) Have a great week ahead! β β β |
