Things I learnt 15 June 2019
- when setting up acl replication between two datacenters you’ve joined in a wan, there is an interesting edge case
- in consul 1.4, you can continue to use the old style config
- however, if you use the new style config you need to remember to set
enable_token_replication
to true :)
consul operator area create
creates a network area (do this in both datacenters)
consul operator area join OTHER_DATACENTER_IP
joins the two network areas - you only need to run this in one datacenter
- ruby 1.9 seems to try to interpret strings as ASCII, this behavior was flipped to UTF-8 in 2.x
- cloudtrail logs can be used to figure out the calls terraform is making
- there’s an unofficial list of iam actions (made in 2018)
