Evgeny Zislis will talk about CloudFormation (20min)
How to decouple stacks using exported values, how to use Systems Manager to provide different parameters for different environments to re-use the same templates and how to make templates that can conditionally create resources depending on these parameters. -
Paul Lewis
The Evolution of Infrastructure as Code (20min)
In this talk we’ll get hands on with the recently released AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). We’ll talk briefly about the benefits of describing your architecture with a programming language rather than JSON/YAML, and then put the slides away and spend the majority of the talk showing you the CDK via a hands-on example. -
Paul Maddox
Better canary deployments with K8s, Spinnaker and Istio
“I want fast, safe deployments, and I want to be able to roll back/forwards quickly in the event of a problem” said every developer ever. In this talk, we’ll dive into the world of canary deployments, why most articles and guides you read about them online are flawed, and how to implement a really good canary deployment pipeline for containers with Kubernetes, Spinnaker, Istio and Prometheus.
