Integration Guides
Connect technologies through explicit identity, network, state and operational boundaries. Every listed pair has implementation and negative-case verification—not a generated compatibility claim.
Terraform with AWS
Provision AWS resources through versioned Terraform configuration while keeping credentials, state and provider versions under explicit control.
Prometheus with Kubernetes
Discover and scrape Kubernetes workloads with Prometheus while controlling target selection, cardinality, permissions and high-availability behaviour.
GitHub Actions with AWS
Let GitHub Actions deploy to AWS using short-lived OpenID Connect credentials instead of repository-stored AWS access keys.
PostgreSQL with PgBouncer
Place PgBouncer between applications and PostgreSQL to bound server connections while preserving the session semantics each workload actually needs.
Microsoft Entra ID with Microsoft Intune
Combine Entra identity and device registration with Intune enrolment, compliance and Conditional Access without confusing registration, management and trust state.
Kubernetes with containerd
Run Kubernetes Pods through containerd using the Container Runtime Interface with aligned cgroups, registry configuration and node operations.
OpenTelemetry with Datadog
Send OpenTelemetry traces, metrics and logs to Datadog through a controlled Collector or Agent pipeline with deliberate sampling and attribute governance.
Docker with GitHub Actions
Build and publish Docker images in GitHub Actions with reproducible metadata, cache controls, least-privilege registry authentication and attestations.
Grafana with Prometheus
Query Prometheus from Grafana to build operational dashboards and alerts without hiding label semantics, query cost or data-source security boundaries.
Ansible with AWS
Use Ansible collections and dynamic inventory to operate AWS resources with temporary credentials, explicit regions and idempotent modules.
