This wouldn't have happened with a separate state file. Additionally, as said below, plan + apply must be separated with a ManualValidation task to allow release administrators to manually inspect the plan output on a production deploy

Once this is over consider looking at network topology as a security mechnism in it's own right. Professionally I try operate a subnet hierarchy: public, intermediate, private where there's no routing information between public an

I've worked at productionising data science models for the past 4 years. I'm currently responsible for delivering technology platforms to ~180 data scientists. I find the data scientist label misleading. Roughly 70% of of the data

This is what SSDT dacpacs offer (it's supposed to be an open standard too). Unfortunately they suffer similar issues as you describe (most data migrations are destructive). I settled on flyway after migrating to postgres a few years ag

I'm of the opinion that dishonesty is serious because it's an irreconcilable breach of trust. There are many things I'm happy to deal with internally providing there's a frank account but once someone intentionally misle

At Games Workshop we had a huge discount ~ 60% IIRC. Staff were regularly terminated for reselling - a big no no. If you were a hobbyist the discount was great perk to make up for low the low salary. The share-save scheme, in hindsight, was
