About the Workshop

Join Somerford’s John Jarvis for a Terraform hands-on workshop focused on minimising cloud waste. Engineers have increasing control over cloud spending with the fast-paced, on-demand infrastructure consumption models driven by the cloud.

With the continuous shift to consumption-based cost models for infrastructure and operations, you pay for what you use, but also for what you provision and don’t use. If you do not have a process for continuous governance and optimisation, cloud waste can quickly be amass.

• An introduction to Terraform concepts, including:.
• Infrastructure as Code, and how to collaborate effective in its production
• How Terraform can help manage IaC, and demonstrate compliance
• What is meant by self-service infrastructure, and its benefits
• Hands-on, browser-based lab, on:
  • The various Terraform workflows, including:
    • The command-line (CLI) driven workflow; and
    • The VCS or 'Git-Ops' driven workflow
  • The many integrations with the Terraform Cloud Software as a Service platform, including:
  • Cost estimation; and
  • Policy as Code checks with Sentinel and Open Policy Agent
    
    No experience is required to attend.
