Mutability, Declarability, and Disposability, oh my!

By Kyle Ruddy

Elevator Pitch

Talking to your DevOps team may sound an exercise in buzzword bingo, but in this session we aim to take a creative approach in simplifying those terms and offers some tools you want to start getting familiar with to start down the DevOps path.

Description

You’ve heard it for years: adopt the principles of DevOps, define all infrastructure as code, and to generally “stop hugging servers” (and every other piece of artisanal infrastructure being managed and provisioned). It’s a lot easier said than done though, right? During this session, we will take a unique look at the concept of immutable infrastructure, management through declarative means, and even some tools to help you get started!

Notes

This is a fairly high-level, almost introduction, session which lays the ground work on several DevOps concepts and uses a whiteboard to breakup the monotony of slide-ware.
