  • I haven’t used an immutable distro, but if it’s a problem, I’m sure that there’s a way to defeat the immutability. If it just mounts the root filesystem read-only, then

    # mount -o remount,rw /
    

    Will probably do it.

    It will work until the next reboot (and I believe it won’t work on Fedora 42 as it now uses composefs), on Fedora Atomic Desktops you have to use layers to add additional packages using rpm-ostree

  • Terraform is part of a movement called “Infrastructure as Code” (IaC) which allows engineers to define their cloud infrastructure using code.

    This is extremely useful as it allows you to:

    • version infrastructure changes

    • automate resource and configuration creation and management

    • have reproducible environments (think production and staging envs, or deploying a new production env to another datacenter)

    Terraform (and OpenTofu) is different to most IaC project as it is agnostic of cloud providers: you can use it to deploy infrastructure to multiple providers, where their competitors are limited to their own platform (I think of AWS’s Cloud Development Kit)
