## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️ **Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group × DevOps Columbus** What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game? Join us for a joint Azure CBUS, Columbus HashiCorp User Group, and DevOps Columbus meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts. In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure. ### What we’ll cover * Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform** * Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure** * Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning) * How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click* * Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time ### Who should attend * Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers * Terraform users (new or experienced) * Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples * Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way. Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐 Want to be a speaker? submit your talk to our Call for Presenters!!! https://sessionize.com/azure-cbus-2026/

On Thursday, January 15, 2026, we will meet at the Slingshot offices at 700 N Hurstbourne Pkwy. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m., and the presentations will begin sharply at 6:30 p.m. Along with an excellent presentation, TEKsystems will provide food. Be sure to RSVP so we know how much food is needed. Afterward, we will go to Brick House Tavern for drinks and food to continue the conversation. The session will also be broadcast at https://twitch.tv/TaleLearnCode. ### Enhancing Cloud Network Security When setting up cloud network security, it is crucial to implement a multi-layered security approach to protect your infrastructure and data. This involves configuring network security groups to control inbound and outbound traffic, ensuring that only legitimate traffic is allowed. Utilizing a centralized firewall for network security policies and threat protection is also essential. Leveraging native security features for continuous monitoring, threat detection, and security analytics can significantly enhance your security posture. By adhering to best practices and regularly reviewing and updating security configurations, organizations can maintain a robust and resilient network security posture in any cloud environment. This talk will give you an in-depth insight into implementing Azure network solutions that significantly strengthen network security posture. Attendees will learn about the critical role of Network Security Groups (NSGs) in controlling traffic to and from Azure resources, ensuring only legitimate traffic is allowed. The utilization of Azure Firewall for centralized network security policies and comprehensive threat protection will also be covered. The session will place strong emphasis on advanced network architecture designs such as micro-segmentation, which creates isolated network segments, significantly reducing the attack surface and limiting lateral movement within the network. By incorporating these sophisticated architecture designs and adhering to best practices, participants will gain invaluable knowledge on how to robustly secure their Azure environments, ultimately enhancing the overall security framework and resilience of their infrastructure.
