Hey Arindam, great article 🔥 just why your headers are screaming so loud with these uppercase letters? 😅 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 — folks know they’re cool and all anyway 👍
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.
Cheers, Arindam Mitra
