'Automate everything' is a key tenet of DevOps. Building a quality, automated infrastructure can be overwhelming and challenging, but with tools such as AWS, Terraform, and Ansible, one can build up a system that can both support the needs of the Sofware Engineers while maintaining the sanity of the DevOps Engineer.

Talks
-------------------------------------------------
The DreamPort Splunk Project; How We Use AWS, Terraform, and Ansible to Automate Everything About a Splunk Cluster
At DreamPort, we use cloud platforms, infrastructure-as-code tooling, configuration tools, automation software, and container technologies to very quickly design, develop, and prototype projects. This particular talk focuses on the tools used to deploy and configure a Splunk cluster for a particular project we recently ran. We will cover the deployment, configuration, and orchestration of a large 16 node Splunk cluster using tools that are a core set to DreamPort's cloud infrastructure toolbox; AWS, Terraform, Ansible, and Docker.

It is recommended that attendees have a general understanding of AWS, Linux, Splunk, and Docker, and know about automation tools such as Terraform and Ansible.

Attendees will learn how to use AWS, Terraform, Ansible, and Docker to deploy a large Splunk cluster, how to use Ansible to orchestrate and manage the Splunk cluster, and how to use Ansible to orchestrate and manage the Splunk cluster.
