Talk Title: How I Learned to Stop Worrying about my Infrastructure and Love [Open]Tofu
Abstract:
Everyone is worried about something breaking in their tech toolchain so let infrastructure-as-code (IaC) be one way you can focus on your meal and less the ingredients. Join us to learn about why you should consider using OpenTofu and how you can start using Tofu today to manage your infrastructure. Douglas will demonstrate how to use Tofu from the simplest configurations, to more detailed deployments, and finally show you how to test that your Tofu IaC configuration will work as advertised with continuous delivery.
In this session you can expect to learn:
- The advantages we have found in adopting OpenTofu
- How you can reuse your experience and tooling for Hashicorp Terraform
- How to test Tofu configuration works as intended
Speaker: Douglas Flagg
Doug is a Principal Cloud Engineer at Fidelity Investments who collaborates daily with multiple internal business partners to deliver customer value through development of IaC tools and practices and applying them practically in various public clouds. Because of the visibility this role gives him into how engineers across Fidelity do IaC, Doug has great insight on what works well and what patterns, practices and tools do not work effectively.
Recently, Doug was selected to share his unique insights at Fidelity’s annual cloud conference where he presented “Terraform: Building an Infrastructure-as-Code Platform for the Enterprise.” In addition, he was selected to present on a Fidelity video series called “Cloudbytes” where he introduced and walked fellow developers through the Terraform Datadog Monitor Module he helped to develop. Doug has organized and taught several workshops including “Terraform 101” and “Testing Terraform through Terratest.”
