May the Fourth Be With You!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away developers used to take months to become productive. Many developers have never returned from their adventures in the cloud.

Today, we have some established and emerging tools and practices that have developers productive in minutes. Join me as I show you the best of today (Ampt, Wing, Pulumi, CDK, Terraform etc) then predict where we will go in the future.

Unacceptable behaviour includes:

• The use of sexualised language or imagery, or inappropriate physical contact, sexual attention, or advances
• Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, personal or political attacks, or sustained disruption of talks or other events
• Deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, or harassing photography or recording
• Harassment of any kind, even in a joking or ironic manner
• Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other attendees. Behave professionally. Remember that harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes are not appropriate at this event.
