Infrastructure as Code transforms your infrastructure into a versionable, reproducible software asset. In an era where downtime is costly and consistency is key, reliance on manual server configuration is a liability. However, automating infrastructure requires a shift in mindset, not just a new toolset. This workshop bridges the gap between simple scripting and enterprise-grade automation. We will dive deep into creating reusable modules, managing complex dependencies, enforcing security policies as code, and ensuring your infrastructure is as testable as your applications.

Who should join

System Administrators, Operations engineers, DevOps engineers, Cloud engineers, platform engineers, team leads, and architects who want to learn how Infrastructure as Code can help reduce infrastructure liabilities and keep their operations running smoothly.

What you'll walk away with

  • Identifying the risks of “ClickOps” and understanding why manually configuring servers via a webportal leads to “configuration drift” and security holes.
  • A clear understanding of IaC concepts like Declarative vs Imperative, Idempotency, and State Management.
  • Hands-on experience deploying your first piece of infrastructure.
  • Mastering the “Destroy and Rebuild” cycle by learning the power of reproducibility.
  • Insights into how treating infrastructure like software allows you to track changes, rollback mistakes, and improve team collaboration.

Discovery - working with UX

Don't build efficiently, what should not be built at all
User Experience (UX) thrives in the land of Discovery whereas delivery teams often live in the land of Development. It seems like they speak a different language, use different tools, have a different mindset? Perhaps they have more in common than you may think.
