Infrastructure as Software
Video
About the Talk
In this talk, infrastructure coder Paul Stack demonstrates why writing infrastructure in general programming languages is a better choice for infrastructure management.
General purpose languages allow infrastructure code to have integrated testing, compile time checks, and create infrastructure APIs, and is more suited to infrastructure management than DSLs, JSON or YAML.
Infrastructure can be built that manages Serverless, Kubernetes, PaaS and IaaS systems across multiple cloud providers.
What You’ll Learn
- Infrastructure code is just as important as application code
- Infrastructure code needs the flexibility of language ecosystems
- Different teams at different stages of cloud adoption are actually all moving in the same direction
