17:45 First talk: To CDK or Not to CDK? An Enterprise Perspective by Jukka Peinola

Should Infrastructure as Code be written using a real programming language?
Based on several years of hands-on experience with AWS CDK and CDKTF in Azure, Jukka Peinola explores the practical trade-offs between CDK-style approaches and traditional infrastructure DSLs.
He shares where CDK has worked well, where it has introduced unnecessary complexity, and what he has learned about abstractions, maintainability, and testing infrastructure code in an enterprise environment.

Jukka is a Product Owner for a platform product and has a technical background as a DevOps Specialist. He is particularly interested in how Continuous Delivery principles can be applied beyond application development to the development and evolution of platforms and cloud infrastructure.
