Hey Arindam, great article πŸ”₯ just why your headers are screaming so loud with these uppercase letters? πŸ˜… Brings quite a lot of anxiety to readers. I understand the devops security is very important but man, all the devops guys I know are calm and quiet people, there’s no need to yell about terraform and GitHub actions β€” folks know they’re cool and all anyway πŸ‘

Hello @fyodorio
I took your suggestion and have now changed them, not only for this article but for all.
Have a look when time permits.
Again, Thank you for your feedback.
