Uncover the mysteries of Infrastructure as code (IAC)!

OVERVIEW:

In the era of cloud and containerisation, infrastructure as code (IAC) is invaluable. In this talk, we will explore the evolution of Infrastructure practices and tools. We will further look at the practices and tools before the emergence of the clouds. Then we will explore how the rise of the cloud changed the infrastructure automation practices and made the IAC a mainstream practice.

We will also explore what it means to treat infrastructure as code. We will talk about Code vs Configuration, versioning, Configurability vs Standardisation, Modularity and code organisation for infrastructure code.
