About the trainers

Stefan Caraiman
Stefan started working as a Python developer on various opensource projects from the Openstack platform. He found out how easily Python can combine with the DevOps mindset and made the switch to becoming a DevOps Engineer. Besides Python, his other "sweet tooth" technologies are Continous Integration, Delivery and Deployment, Golang, Linux quirks and anything "as Code" related.

Description

Even though the modern cloud infrastructure that we have all around us nowadays is a lot more complex and diverse than what we used to have years ago, this brought up various issues along side it. Such as making it harder to maintain an infrastructure just by hand and clicking around in a portal, taking more time and making it more error prone.

This is where tools such as Terraform can be a real life saver. Although Infrastructure as Code is a fairly new solution, it has quickly caught on across organizations across the world, due to its flexibility and power.

In this workshop we will learn the ropes of Terraform, how it can help us create an infrastructure from scratch, modify it, scale it and even delete it.
