DCD was a pleasant experience and unfolded a new world of "how to build your own datacenter" from a physical location perspective. Saw some interesting cooling systems.

I will never use this knowledge. 🤣

Have you ever tried building a Terraform provider for a dynamic schema? @marcom4rtinez.bsky.social did!

Marco created a strategy to generate tailored Terraform providers for dynamic Infrahub schemas, detailing the build and usage process in two blog posts.

Ever wanted to provide containerlab as a service to your team? Two students are doing great work with antimony, providing a modern frontend and backend to integrate with containerlab and clabernetes.
