Managing Infrastructure as Code with TERRAFORM

Hi, Everyone,

We are please to announce that a new team will be handling the Haschicorp Meetups in Madrid. We are very happy to invite you to our first event! Managing Infrastructure as Code with TERRAFORM.

Big thanks to Zooplus for letting us host our Meetup in their office and also for providing food and drinks!. You can find more information about them at https://jobs.zooplus.es/

In this new journey we would like to share with you how the experts work with Terraform. The latest version (v0.12) is a major update that includes dozens of improvements and features spanning the breadth and depth of Terraform's functionality. We will walk through some of the new updates and show the best practices and how it solves some of the daily challenges you may encounter.

During the event we will have the opportunity to interview our special guest, Jim Brikman, author of 'Terraform Up & Running' and 'Hello Startup'. Jim will share some of his lessons learned from writing 300k lines of infrastructure code. For us, it's a privilege having him via web conference. It's not easy to block his agenda. Massive thank you Jim!!!
