Find leaky resources, manage quota limits, detect drift, and clean up… It’s the stuff that no engineer wants to deal with. Especially with today’s cloud environments reaching unmanageable levels of complexity. Cleanup usually means hand-jamming resources with shell scripts or in your cloud console. But new open source technologies allow you to achieve a constant […]
