IaC Forged in Code: ARM/Bicep vs Terraform vs Pulumi

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a powerful way to automate the deployment of your Azure infrastructure. With IaC, you can define your infrastructure in code, and use that code to deploy and manage your resources. In this session, we will explore the different ways to use IaC in Azure, including Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates, Microsoft's Bicep language processor, and popular open-source tools like Terraform and Pulumi. We'll also compare the pros and cons of each approach, and discuss when it's best to use each one. Whether you're new to IaC or a seasoned veteran, this session will provide you with the knowledge you need to take your cloud deployments to the next level.

We'll start at 5:30 PM CST, but feel free to grab a beverage and join a bit earlier!
