In this talk we will go through the journey of codifying the entire IT stack (infrastructure, configuration and applications) in Amazon Web Services (AWS). We will share our findings and how this greatly enables further automation for our IT department. Furthermore, we will talk about advantages both for the business and IT and how we can build on top of this. This presentation was given during a Behind the Scenes talk at Coolblue. https://www.coolblue.nl/behindthescenes0905
