# Talk 1 - Cloud bending using latest Terraform - Marko Bevc

In this talk we will look at Terraform (an open-source infrastructure as a code tool created by HashiCorp), it's features and language constructs of the latest release. We will also discuss automated workflows, team and community collaboration options. Terraform has very extensible architecture with rich modules and providers central registry.

# Talk 2 - Shift left or shift right - Marcin Prączko

Simple discussion about complexity in today pipelines (CI/CD) and understanding what means 'shift left' and whether is right apporach, or whether we should focus more on "shift right".

In short: "Shift left" can be interpreted based on ENV (dev, test, staging, prod) - however if one will take more details about work requried in ONE of env (i.e DEV) - one can see so many tasks to do, that maybe would be more accurate create pipeline which "shift right" complexity.
