CI/CD Pipelines for Cloud Infrastructures

Infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Pulumi allow developers to describe their (cloud) infrastructure in code. Software development teams use them nowadays to manage their cloud resources. Still we see many developer teams running those tools outside of a CI/CD pipeline, which causes lots of headaches if things go wrong.

This talk focuses on some considerations that one should make when running infrastructure code inside a pipeline. It will provide a checklist to make sure that your infrastructure code is ready to be automatically deployed. We will also dive into topics like proper development workflows for infrastructure code and disaster recovery.

The target group of the presentation are software developers who already use infrastructure-as-code tools and now want to take the next steps towards automation
