MacAdmins.news 2026-03-06
This week, MacAdmins.news looks at (of course) the MacBook Neo and other releases from Apple's "big week," but also Tahoe interface and updates, and more MacAdmins tools and articles.
@chrisatzinger There's a free Slack community of 82k #MacAdmins Apple device admins over at https://macadmins.org, if you wanted some friendly help and advice - highly recommend even if you're just considering/new to the space, organizations of all different scales hanging out there
One of the questions that I keep hearing is "[H]ow do I start if I already have a fully deployed environment?" I attempted to answer that question in https://macadminmusings.com/blog/2026/03/03/from-clickops-to-code-terraforming-a-live-system/. I try to take a high level view and define the steps to take to avoid breaking everything. I hope it helps to guide people onto a path toward success.
It is also starting to take hold in Device Management and more vendors are starting to support it in their own ways. Zentral.com has supported Terraform for years. Fleet Device Management uses YAML files and deploys them using GitOps. Jamf announced support for Terraform last year. I'm sure there are more.
Infrastructure as Code as a concept is gaining ground in different IT-related circles. It was originally just for IT Infrastructure, but it spread quickly. For instance, Okta announced Terraform support in 2019.
Stupidly excited for a project at work that I’ve been thinking about for a while that’s finally getting implemented. I’m actually looking forward to work!
In this week's MacAdmins.news, we look ahead to Apple's "big week" and a lot of community project updates.
