Infrastructure as Code Workshop
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) perceives the underlying infrastructure for your application as software, and uses code to manage the configuration and automation of infrastructure provisioning. IaC relies on automation to reconfigure and redeploy infrastructure efficiently, across multiple clouds. CloudOps provides a hands-on workshops on automation tooling (Hashicorp’s Terraform and Ansible).
Benefits of Infrastructure as Code
Saves time, effort, and infra resources
Reduces errors
Reduces risk and technical debt
Who should attend?
- Developers
- Operators

- Technical decision makers
Why should I attend?
Better understand how IaC benefits your team
Utilize DevOps practices to increase efficiency within your team
Learn to support application deployments across multiple clouds
Simplify the adoption and management of building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently
IaC Workshop
During this workshop you will learn:
- How Terraform by Hashicorp works as a cross platform, infrastructure tool enabling you to use the same tooling over multiple platforms for infrastructure automation;
- How Ansible can be used to manage remote application configurations and VM installations built on top of your Terraform infrastructure deployment.
