Hello and happy Friday! Welcome to the PagerDuty Community Weekly Update! Next week is US Thanksgiving, so we’ll be off enjoying the long weekend.

## Good News
PagerDuty was nominated for  Best End-to-End DevOps Tool/Service in the [DevOps Dozen 2022 Awards](https://devopsdozen.com/). 

[Voting](https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DevOpsDozenAwards2022) is now open! Lots of tough competition here–we’d be honored to have your vote for PagerDuty. 
## Cool Stuff
[Process Automation 4.8.0](https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/history/4_x/version-4.8.0.html#overview) was released last week and this week we had Forrest and Jake on the [Twitch stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1653542695) to talk about two excellent new features: 
- [RSS Feed Plugin](https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/manual/workflow-steps/rss-feed-plugin.html) helps you know when issues are upstream of your applications. Subscribe to providers’ update feeds to track incidents and outages that impact your systems.
- [Job Resume](https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/manual/execution-lifecycle/job-resume.html#usage) gives you the ability to restart a multi-step job from a failure. 
We think both of these will be super helpful to folks using Process Automation and Rundeck OSS.
The recording will be on [YouTube](https://youtube.com/pagerduty) shortly.
## Find us in person!
Where in the world is PagerDuty DevRel? It’s almost the end of the year, so things are slowing down.
-  Scott’s going to be at [re:Invent](https://reinvent.awsevents.com/). He’ll be giving a number of talks at the PagerDuty booth in our booth theater!
- In December, Mandi and the EMEA PagerDuty folks will be at DevOpsDays Tel Aviv! [Registration is open now](https://devopsdays.org/events/2022-tel-aviv/welcome/)! 

We hope to see you! Say hi, we might have PagerDuty stickers. :D 
## We’re also virtual!
- Mandi presented *Best Practices for On Call Teams* at [DeveloperWeek Enterprise](https://www.developerweek.com/global/conference/enterprise/) on Tuesday, and on Thursday, she presented at Heavybit’s [DevGuild: Incident Response](https://www.heavybit.com/devguild/incident-response). 

- Julie Gunderson of AWS and Paula Thrasher, Senior Director, Engineering Infrastructure here at PagerDuty joined Kat for a webinar on Thursday: [Humans, Robots, and Incident Response](https://webinars.devops.com/humans-robots-and-incident-response)!

Thursday was also the quarterly  **[Terraform Roundtable](https://meet.pagerduty.com/terraform7)**. Some of the topics we covered were: 
* Using tools like [Terraformer](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/terraformer) to import large batches of existing objects into your Terraform state
* When using a simple `terraform import` was appropriate
* How you can generate HCL from your your existing state by using the `terraform state show` ([state show docs](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/commands/state/show))
* How to set up the [GitHub Change Events integration]() through Terraform

All of these topics will be addressed during future Terraform Time episodes on [twitch.tv/pagerduty](https://twitch.tv/pagerduty). You can also [register now](https://meet.pagerduty.com/terraform8) for our next Terraform Roundtable coming up in February 2023!

## On the Podcast
This week, Scott talked to Rob Dickinson about API Security! Subscribe to [Page it to the Limit](https://pageittothelimit.com) so you never miss an episode.

Have a suggestion for a guest we should have on? [Let us know](community-team@pagerduty.com)! We’re looking for guests for Q1 2023 to record in November and December. That could be YOU! 

We’re looking for a *modern NOC story* if you have some experience there and would like to share!
