FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

What's an Effective Engineer?

Currently, there is an explosion of tools that aim to manage secrets for automated, cloud native infrastructure management. Daniel Somerfield did some work classifying the various approaches, but (as far as I know) no one has made a recent effort to summarize the various tools.

This is an attempt to give a quick overview of what can be found out there. The list is alphabetical. There will be tools that are missing, and some of the facts might be wrong--I welcome your corrections. For the purpose, I can be reached via @maxvt on Twitter, or just leave me a comment here.

There is a companion feature matrix of various tools. Comments are welcome in the same manner.

	#
	# Github Actions for Serverless Framework
	#
	# Create AWS_KEY and AWS_SECRET secrets in Github repository settings
	# If you're using env.yml file, store its content as ENV Github secret
	#
	# Master branch will be deployed as DEV and every new tag starting with "v**" (e.g. v1.0, v1.2, v2.0, etc) will be deployed as PROD
	#

	#!/bin/bash

	# Assumption:
	# 1. Your original AWS Creds should be stored at ~/.aws/credentials
	# 2. You've corrected ARN for MFA device (search for FIXME)
	# 3. You've given correct MFA Code as cli argument
	# 4. You have jq installed. Ref: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
	if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
	echo "Usage: `basename "$0"` <MFA-TOKEN>"
	exit

	podlog () {
	local pod=($(kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide \| fzf \| awk '{print $1, $2}'))

	echo kubectl logs -n ${pod[1]} ${pod[2]}
	kubectl logs -n ${pod[1]} ${pod[2]}
	}

	podexec () {
	local pod=($(kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide \| fzf \| awk '{print $1, $2}'))
	local cmd=${@:-"/bin/sh"}

	# ATTENTION: This is now supported in plug_cowboy as of 2.1.0:
	# https://hexdocs.pm/plug_cowboy/Plug.Cowboy.Drainer.html

	defmodule DrainStop do
	@moduledoc """
	DrainStop Attempts to gracefully shutdown an endpoint when a normal shutdown
	occurs. It first shuts down the acceptor, ensuring that no new requests can be
	made. It then waits for all pending requests to complete. If the timeout
	expires before this happens, it stops waiting, allowing the supervision tree
	to continue its shutdown order.

	# This demonstrates that, when using async/await, a crash in the task will crash the caller
	defmodule Tasker do
	def good(message) do
	IO.puts message
	end

	def bad(message) do
	IO.puts message
	raise "I'm BAD!"
	end
