Read MoreTransitioning from traditional infrastructure deployment and management processes can be challenging. Implementing infrastructure as code principles and using best practices leads to repeatable results, fewer manual errors, and overall quicker application releases for your customers. This class focuses on using automation tools to build, deploy, and manage security-hardened infrastructure. Using Packer, students can automate building a golden base image consisting of company policies and best practices. This image can then be deployed with Terraform, using Vault to manage sensitive passwords and secrets.
Attendees will understand best practices for automated building of secure infrastructure using code, storing that code in version control, and deployment using Terraform and managing secrets with Vault. They will also use Packer to automate building of "golden images".
This class's audience is Developers, DevOps, Architects, Team Leads, Operations, and any other Engineering personnel interested in learning best practices for automating, deploying, managing, and securing infrastructure and application code.
Attendees should have a basic understanding of Linux and command-line experience.
