Still Running Terraform Locally? Let's Talk.
There’s a good chance you’re deploying your Azure infrastructure from your own machine. Maybe it’s Terraform. Maybe it’s working… most of the time. But here’s the question I’d pose: Are you still running terraform apply locally, or have you moved your infrastructure into a pipeline? And more importantly, why?
