TIL: if you want a spring-boot cli app that uses an Oauth2 client, spring-boot will *not* autoconfigure it for you. autoconf is conditional on @EnableWebSecurity (depends on javax.servlet.Filter on cp) and thus the whole thing being a webapp.
package org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.oauth2.client.servlet contains handy bean configs to copy over tho. #springboot #oauth2 #til

My colleague Kief Morris is curating the website "Infrastructure as Code", modeled after his book by the same name: https://infrastructure-as-code.com/
Also, he just made the source of the site, including all the useful information open source, so people can submit PRs and suggestions for improving the material: https://github.com/kief/infrastructure-as-code.com
I find it incredibly valuable, especially as a reference material. Have a read, improve it, let's all benefit from the aggregated knowledge!
