Semantic Versioning for IAC - iacver

When it comes to Infrastructure As Code, the software versioning system known as Semantic Versioning (semver.org) works from an API perspective but falls short elsewhere.

In short a semver is broken down into three "octets" and optional, additional information tagged to the end. Here are a few examples: v1.0.1, v3.1.1, v1.15.0-4. Each of these is a valid semver.

If we take the first example - v1.0.1 - and change the first octet, 1, to 2, we're saying the following:

There has been a change to this code and that change is not compatible with how you're using v1.0.1. The change is a breaking change. You should take care to introduce version v2.0.0 into your code or your environment.

Git Commit Freeze Due to GPG Lock Issues

If you encounter a problem where you cannot commit changes in Git – neither through the terminal nor via the GitHub Desktop application – the issue might be a freeze during the Git commit process. This is often caused by GPG lock issues. Below is a concise and step-by-step guide to resolve this problem.

Solution Steps

1. Check for GPG Lock Messages

Open your terminal and try to perform a GPG operation (like signing a test message). If you see repeated messages like gpg: waiting for lock (held by [process_id]) ..., it indicates a lock issue.
