Name: An evening on Infrastructure as Code
Start: 2020-09-08T19:00:00+02:00
End: 2020-09-08T21:15:00+02:00

In the season 2020/2021 we hope to have five MeetUps and this evening will be the first. Tonight we will learn about managing cloud infrastructure, but without choosing a cloud specific implementation like Azure ARM Templates or AWS CloudFormation. Instead the sessions will be about Terraform and Pulumi.

This MeetUp will be held online using Microsoft Teams and the link to join will be posted here roughly 30 minutes before we start.

The program:

19:30-19:35: Welcome and sorting out connectivity issues
19:35-20:20: First speaker: Adin Ermie - IaC using Terraform
20:20-20:30: Bio-and-drinks break
20:30-21:45: Second speaker: Mikhail Shilkov - Cloud Management Superpowers with Pulumi

*Infrastructure as Code using Terraform*
Come learn the benefits of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), what Terraform is and why people love it, along with a breakdown of the basics (including live demo deployments). Then wrap up with a comparison of Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates versus Terraform, consider some best practices, and walk away with some key resources in your Terraform learning adventure.

*Cloud Management Superpowers with Pulumi*
Building upon the first talk, we'll explore the next frontier in cloud engineering. We'll discuss why you may want to escape the bandwagon of JSON, YAML, and HCL.

In this talk, Mikhail will introduce Pulumi, an open-source tool that leverages programming languages like C#, TypeScript, and Python to manage cloud resources yet in a declarative manner! Using developer tools that you know and love, you can now apply unit testing, reusable architecture, deployment policies, and continuous delivery while provisioning resources in the cloud.

About Mikhail:
Mikhail Shilkov is a software engineer at Pulumi, a Microsoft Azure MVP, a Russian expat living in the Netherlands. He is passionate about the serverless mindset, leveraging the full variety of managed cloud services and handling cloud infrastructure as code. You can find his blog at https://mikhail.io
