This week I want to go all the way down to the floor, Layer 0, the org bootstrap, because it&rsquo;s where the most interesting tension in any infrastructure-as-code project lives: <strong>something has to exist before Terraform can run, and I refuse to store a secret in a public repo to make that happen.</strong></p>
