My Packer Snap is again on the news!

I was invited to say some words for the launch of the public beta of build.snapcraft.io.

Myself, my blog and my Snap were again news on the official blog of Ubuntu - Ubuntu Insights

Snapcrafting

My blog and I were mentioned by the team of Snapcraft in “This week in snapcraft (WW21 2017)”

In my tries, I have explored some ways of building snaps and Ubuntu is providing a new way to do it by launching build.snapcraft.io

It seems that Ubuntu is in the right path with this one.

“If the use of SNAPs is snapping, the creation of SNAPs is snapcrafting.”

Terraform 0.9.6 and SNAPs

Another minor update on Terraform.

Some things to take a look:
[✓] New Provider: ovh
[✓] New Resource: aws_default_subnet
[✓] New Resource: aws_default_vpc
[✓] New Resource: aws_default_vpc_dhcp_options
[✓] New Data Source: aws_db_snapshot
…

With this release, I wanted to update my snapcrafts. I have updated my packer snap and I have also created a terraform updated snap.

Both were build by the snapcraft.io servers that are linked to my github account.
