Using Pulumi and Typescript to Manage AWS Infrastructure

We'll go over a couple use cases for using Pulumi to manage AWS infrastructure with Typescript as the primary language for your Pulumi configuration. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn some basic Pulumi functions, even if they're not familiar with Typescript!

Terraform at Scale

Terraform is a great tool to write your infrastructure as code. It can be challenging to get started and find the best practices. This session will be packed with information and examples on how to use Terraform at scale. We'll look at best practices, Terraform within CI/CD, using Terragrunt and CDKTF. The demonstrations will be within the AWS environment, however, concepts can apply for all cloud or on premise providers. After this session you will be able to setup Terraform with reusable modules configurable by environment.

Platforming: building a PaaS for your customers, your team, or yourself

In modern development, we use Platforms as a Service every day to build custom applications, create integrations, and distribute our code worldwide. PaaS providers like AWS — especially utilizing serverless technologies — allow developers to delegate the management of servers, runtimes, and operating systems to cloud providers. This allows development teams to focus on building differentiating features rather than managing low-level systems.

But what if we took this idea one step further? What if we find the platforms that we build on to be too low-level themselves? How might we take the strategies used by cloud providers to build custom PaaS products that better suit our needs?

In this talk, we will learn about the basic building blocks of a Platform as a Service, and use this knowledge to implement a custom "Netlify-like" PaaS product using AWS, CDK, and TypeScript.

Extending the Amazon Cloud Development Kit (CDK)

Attendees will understand the benefits of creating their own extended version of the Amazon Cloud Development Kit. They will see how defining rules and setting up standards around CDK can enable better, safer and more maintainable infrastructure as code.

What’s Wrong with AWS

AWS created the cloud computing segment and is the biggest player in the space. It has a lot of good parts but across over 200 “two pizza teams” some confusing things have shown up. In this talk, we will cover some of the more problematic parts of AWS and what you can do to get through it.
