VASCAN 2019

Terraform has gained a lot of attention due to its ability to define "infrastructure as code." While it simplifies and enables version controlling of our infrastructure, how should we integrate these tools into build pipelines? How do we do it in a least-privileged manner (reducing blast radius if something happened)? How can we automatically detect when our infrastructure has drifted from our configuration, either intentionally or maliciously? And how can we share best practices more easily across our organizations? In this workshop, we will learn (in a hands-on manner) best practices for each of these in a simple project environment utilizing AWS. While Terraform experience is recommended, it is not required. All are welcome to attend!
