Seattle HUG (In-Person): Terraform in Production — Real-World DevOps & AI

Join us for an in-person DevOps meetup hosted by HashiCorp and Slalom!
We’ll explore practical, real-world Terraform solutions and share the latest AI updates from HashiCorp—cutting through the noise to focus on what actually matters for infrastructure teams in production.
Slalom will share real‑world implementation experience from years supporting large healthcare research enterprises. Slalom leaders will walk through the design and operation of automated infrastructure‑as‑code pipelines built using Terraform Cloud and GitHub Actions—covering complex lift‑and‑shift migrations across AWS, Azure, and GCP, including large‑scale Azure tenant‑to‑tenant transitions. Slalom will also share some of the latest successes in leveraging accerlated engineering tools to improve productivity
