HUG #10: Build, run and manage with Zero Trust on a Swiss Cloud

Hi everyone,
It's our pleasure to introduce the agenda for the 10. Zurich HashiCorp User Group Meetup in-person event. We look forward to an exciting evening and active exchange 😊.

AGENDA
17.00 - 17.30 | Entry, Apéro + Networking

17.30 - 17.35 | Welcome messages

17.35 - 17.55 | Exoscale powererd by Terraform | Shayma Tai | Exoscale
Terraform is a powerful tool to deploy entire apps and infrastructure in ease. Instead of talking about it, we will deploy an entire monitoring stack using Terraform on Exoscale. We will also do a short rundown on the Terraform script used. Finally we test if it's working as expected.

17.55 - 18.15 | Build, run and manage HashiCorp on a Swiss Cloud | Armin Mesic | HashiCorp
"Zero Trust" as a modern security principle in today's (multi-cloud) IT architectures. How HashiCorp's tools provide security and trust as a built-in feature in self-service processes.

18.15 - 18.35 | Break

18.35 - 18.55 | HashiCorp Vault Enterprise on Exoscale | Andreas Gruhler | Adfinis
Deploy Vault on Exoscale SKS with ArgoCD. In this short rundown we will provision a Kubernetes cluster on Exoscale (SKS), install ArgoCD and use that to spin up HashiCorp Vault Enterprise. At the end of this session, you will also be able to leverage the best practices around the "App of Apps" approach for your projects, which we already use at Adfinis to manage the lifecycle of mulitple apps across clusters and customers.

18.55 - 19.00 | Closing words

19.00 - 20.30 | Apéro + Networking 🎅🏼🤶🏼☃️🎄
Original Valais raclette awaits you as well as delicious Glühwein (mulled wine). We also have vegan pumpkin soup and non-alcoholic punch ready for you.
