Infrastructure as Software
45 Mins
Talk
Beginner
In this talk, infrastructure coder Paul Stack demonstrates why writing infrastructure in general programming languages is a better choice for infrastructure management.
General purpose languages allow infrastructure code to have integrated testing, compile time checks, and create infrastructure APIs, and is more suited to infrastructure management than DSLs, JSON or YAML.
Infrastructure can be built that manages Serverless, Kubernetes, PaaS and IaaS systems across multiple cloud providers.
What You’ll Learn
- Infrastructure code is just as important as application code
- Infrastructure code needs the flexibility of language ecosystems
- Different teams at different stages of cloud adoption are actually all moving in the same direction

The Quest for Infrastructure Management 2.0
90 Mins
Demonstration
Intermediate
The age old task of racking and stacking in a physical data centre is becoming more and more rare as more companies embrace the public cloud. Having the ability to chose between providers such as AWS, Azure, Digital Ocean and Google Cloud Platform makes creating infrastructure easy. It is better to spend time developing better services for our customers than managing infrastructureDuring this talk, Paul will demonstrate how building a scalable infrastructure on AWS becomes easy with Terraform. The talk will demonstrate how using configuration management, pre-baked AMIs and auto-scaling groups it gives the ability for developers to be able to launch their own infrastructure when needed. The demo’s will include the ability to launch instances, databases and manage user accessBy the end of the talk, Paul will have demonstrated that the creation of infrastructure now becomes part of the development lifecycle and that the old ways of system administration is fast moving to become infrastructure engineering. Paul will also demonstrate that the creation of new ‘environments’ are just a change of parameters in our infrastructure code -
