Developer - Containerization

Thinking inside the box
Containerization is the process of bundling software and its requirements into a single image, which can be easily run and deployed on any machine. With migrations more frequently happening from on-premise to the cloud (or vice versa), companies benefit from this easy-to-deploy setup. But ‘containerizing’ an application suite goes beyond creating a Docker file. During this workshop, we’ll dive deep into topics such as networking, debugging, storage, orchestration and even containerized development setups.

Developer - Infrastructure as a code

Building castles in the clouds
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.
