Book Release: Automating NSX for vSphere with PowerNSX

That moment when you need to accept the fact that you need to use HiDPI resolution. That -8.2 eyesight life.

Back into the world of content creation. Time for my Lord of the Rings Living Card Game progression series. Enjoy this 2 handed series where I take on the first scenario, Passage Through Mirkwood. #LordOfTheRings #LOTR.

"When we closed our laptops, we could be present in our lives and with our families.". This is still very true. As a father and husband I to this day benefit from and appreciate the culture @armon and @mitchellh seeded. Nice story @janaboruta.

What's satisfying is embedded defaults that reduce cognitive load on consumers of something - be it as code or a module - when using terraform. I also love the ability for sane overrides but guard rails that stop silliness!.

You're not always 'on' all the time and that's okay. I had a moment like that today. I didn't deliver to my own level that I expect. It's how we handle ourselves during and afterwards that define us in moments like this.

After 3 years of using google suite, I still send calendar invitations without inviting attendees. So how's your day going?.

Oh, and further to this. dhcp_ranges = ["${cidrsubnet(var.public_subnets[count.index], 3)}-${cidrhost(var.public_subnets[count.index], -2)}"] would generate for against a 10.0.0.0/28 network a string "10.0.0.2-10.0.0.14" which is lovely!.

and once again time solved and day saved - also thanks goes to the "check this out Burkey" guidance from @grantorchard .

As such, go suss cidrhost!.

I can then iterate over the length of this list of strings. count = length(var.public_subnets).server_addresses = cidrhost(var.public_subnets[count.index], -2). I was so deep in trying to put constraints around this that I got lost. That's okay.

So I can now determine a specific value within a subnet when I don't know the input value. This means I can define a list of subnets as strings. For example var.networks =["10.0.0.0/28","10.0.0.16/28","10.0.0.32/28"].

For example. I was try to place a network function on a specific IP address in each network. How do I accommodate /24 versus /28 and subnet length?. > cidrhost("10.0.3.0/28", -2)."10.0.3.14".> cidrhost("10.0.3.0/24", -2)."10.0.3.254". Ace.

*knocks on door*. Have you heard about the deity that is CIDRHOST?. I had not. It's fundamentally changed my day and week.

Wow. They included my dancing at the end. Bold creative direction for sure :D.

Let’s do it! More dingos, more Texans, and more dancing?.

Jeeze. Can you believe they’re taking a risk on this Aussie?.

This was a blast!.
