🙌 News from the sponsors 🙌

Avi Zurel wrote a post explaining how they use Python with Jinja to render Terraform configs and handle onboarding and offboarding at Hippo. AB: I guess, the solution can be simplified by using onelogin_users data source from the official Terraform provider to achieve the same but natively.

Mike Hodgkins from FundApps wrote about making Yor work with Terraform caller and child modules. Simple, yet, very powerful approach. AB: Yor is an open-source project by Bridgecrew, the sponsor of the Terraform Weekly newsletters.

Open-source projects

Terraform module registry written in Python. AB: Recently there were at least a couple of similar projects: terraform-registry-proxy and boring-registry.
