Terraform 101 + Cloud Cost Mitigation Virtual Workshop
Increasing productivity, and reducing cost risk with Terraform.
- 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM
- June 14 & Sept 5th, 2023

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.
No experience is required to attend.
