DevOps & Infrastructure NRW #8

Information

It’s time for our last Meetup this year, so make sure to show up so we can enjoy the last evening together, before we meet again at the beginning of 2018.

As usual we’ll be serving vegan/non-vegan food and lots of drinks. Come and join us!

19:00 - Doors, food, drinks, socialize

19:45 - Terraform, Ansible, or pure CloudFormation? by Vladimir Dobriakov

OK, you are convinced, that infrastructure-as-code (managing computing resources, networks, configuring services through machine-readable definition files, rather than interactive configuration tools) is the way to go!

But do not know, which technology to use for it? Should I learn Terraform, do I need to buy Atlas, is Ansible really enough to implement everything? Will my code stay maintainable in 3 or 5 years? We will have a look at a small, but real world task, consider implementations with all the mentioned tools and we will also discuss, which tools give you advantages in which specific situations.

20:15 - Break

20:30 - TBA

21:00 - Drinks: let’s get to know each other & guided office tour
