INVITE: Infrastructure as Code - Building Azure infrastructure using Terraform and Terraform Enterprise
Infrastructure as Code allows the management of your infrastructure including networks, virtual machines, platform services, and load balancers. Utilizing Terraform configuration to describe the desired Azure resources needed for an environment ensures that consistent infrastructure is created each time it is deployed.
This Workshop is focused on:
- Understanding Infrastructure as Code concepts
- Terraform as an Infrastructure as Code provider
- Terraform Enterprise features and benefits
Infrastructure as Code allows DevOps teams to deploy production-like environments early in the development cycle. Declarative code representing infrastructure can also be validated and approved before moving downstream. Using Azure's cloud platform, dynamic creation, modification, and deletion of infrastructure that is built rapidly, reliably, and at scale.
Utilizing a simple configuration language Terraform allows for a human readable representation of your infrastructure. The execution plan phase allows infrastructure to be viewed and approved with full confidence that you are changing your environment how you intended.
Terraform Enterprise offers a single location to perform all of your Terraform workflows. It is a central place to manage your infrastructure and includes collaboration, governance, and private module registry capabilities.
The event is targeted at DevOps teams and managers looking to automate infrastructure deployments. The session will start with core concepts around IaC and then deep dive into how Terraform with hand-on coding.
- Learn alongside Cardinal and Microsoft Engineers to help you understand the design considerations to accelerate your Azure infrastructure deployments.
- Engage in hands on coding to help understand the options available to designing your IaC solution.
- Post-Hackfest engagements to ensure your continued success.
- Attend the Workshop with your leaders in DevOps and IT Pro’s. We strongly recommend including a technical decision maker and architect level resource.
- Defined Azure Subscription to deploy real infrastructure to during the event.
- Initial set of infrastructure you are looking to create as an environment.
