Stephen Darling:
Terraform Wins and Woes: A Real Look at Infrastructure-as-Code

Join me for an insightful presentation on the world of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) with Terraform. I’ll highlight the impressive benefits of using Terraform for automating and managing infrastructure while also addressing the challenges and pitfalls that can arise. This session aims to provide a well-rounded perspective, blending the highs with the lows to help you navigate your IaC journey more effectively. I’ll cover topics like integrating with DevOps workflows, effective secrets management, common pitfalls, and when NOT to use IaC. Whether you’re just starting out or have some experience, there’s something valuable for everyone!

Niall Hodgen:
Disaster-Driven Infrastructure: Picking Up the Pieces with IaC

How can organisations better prepare for disaster with their cloud infrastructure? From COVID to Cloudstrike, it is inevitable that in today’s cloud landscape we will face disasters of all shapes and sizes, and the challenges they create. We’ve all heard of ‘shift left’ in relation to security and testing. What if we include disaster mitigation to that list? In the limited time available, this talk aims to outline a few simple disaster recovery strategies every team can put in place to mitigate against some of the most common DR issues. Terraform will be used as part of this demonstration, showcasing IaC as a key player in organisations’ preparedness for disaster, with some real life examples.

We can't wait to see you all there for an action packed evening of DevOps talks.
