Infrastructure as Code and the Pivotal Role It Plays in Cloud Computing
Early in her career, Nora Schöner fell in love with infrastructure as code.
In this episode, Nora Schöner, Senior Cloud Consultant at superluminar, explains why she's so passionate about tools like Terraform, AWS CDK, and Pulumi, how they lower the threshold for developers entering the industry, and how they simplify the way developers define and make changes to infrastructure.
You'll learn:
- How infrastructure as code helped Nora enter the programming industry
- What impact will the HashiCorp licensing change have on Terraform users?
- Why infrastructure from code could be the new wave of cloud infrastructure management
