Speaker: Kaon Thana, The New York Times Abstract: The challenges and solutions of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in the Classic Enterprise Network. As a small team of network engineers at the New York Times we manage many connectivity services such as a production data center, printing plant, corporate WAN, campus wired/wifi network and multi-cloud connectivity between AWS, GCP and Azure. In this talk I will discuss the challenges we faced over the last few years adopting automation practices in the brownfield and and the real-world solutions (with examples) we used to overcome the pitfalls.
