Moving to a new domain

I wanted to move the site from the old domain to a new one. The idea was to make this site a little more personal, and less snobbish. I picked the .io TLD. I liked it. The idea was also that I plan to make it not merely about PowerShell, but about infrastructure automation in general. The general plan I had in mind was: Buy ramiyer.io. Log into my DNS console and add entries to GitHub Pages IP addresses.

How I build my blog (part 2)

In the previous post, I showed how I have set up the build of the site. The process is incomplete without deployment. As already said, the deployment happens to AWS S3, and here is how: Deploy the site to AWS S3 Configure the S3 bucket Setup AWS Access and Secret keys Configure CloudFront to deliver the site Configure DNS routing Set up GitLab CI for S3 deployment Summary Deploy the site to AWS S3 I wrote a Gist for this task using BitBucket, Wercker (CI) and AWS S3 back in July 2017.

How I build my blog (part 1)

It has been some time since I started using Jekyll, because of my frustration with CMS like Blogger and WordPress. I picked up Jekyll and learned it because I wanted complete control over how I build my site, where I write some fiction (go, check it out if it interests you). I wanted to control the design, the content, the features, pretty much everything. The code is available on GitLab.
