Best Practices of Infrastructure as Code with TerraformDevOps.com
When your organization is moving to cloud, the infrastructure layer transitions from running dedicated servers at limited scale to a dynamic environment, where you can easily adjust to growing demand by spinning up thousands of servers and scaling them down when not in use.
The future of DevOps is infrastructure as code. Infrastructure as code supports the growth of infrastructure and provisioning requests. It treats infrastructure as software: code that can be re-used, tested, automated and version controlled. HashiCorp Terraform adopts infrastructure as code throughout its tool to prevent configuration drift, manage immutable infrastructure and much more!
Join this webinar to learn why Infrastructure as Code is the answer to managing large scale, distributed systems and service-oriented architectures. We will cover key use cases, a demo of how to use Infrastructure as Code to provision your infrastructure and more:

Intro to Infrastructure as Code: Challenges & Use cases
Writing Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
Collaborating with Teams on Infrastructure
As part of this presentation we covered basics of Terraform which is Infrastructure as code. It will helps to Devops teams to start with Terraform.
This document will be helpful for the development who wants to understand infrastructure as code concepts and if they want to understand the usability of terrform
While many organizations have started to automate their software development processes, many still engineer their infrastructure largely by hand. Treating your infrastructure just like any other piece of code creates a “programmable infrastructure” that allows you to take full advantage of the scalability and reliability of the AWS cloud. This session will walk through practical examples of how AWS customers have merged infrastructure configuration with application code to create application-specific infrastructure and a truly unified development lifecycle. You will learn how AWS customers have leveraged tools like CloudFormation, orchestration engines, and source control systems to enable their applications to take full advantage of the scalability and reliability of the AWS cloud, create self-reliant applications, and easily recover when things go seriously wrong with their infrastructure.

Listen up, developers. You are not special. Your infrastructure is not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You have the same tech debt as everyone else. This is a talk about a better way to build and manage infrastructure: Terraform Modules. It goes over how to build infrastructure as code, package that code into reusable modules, design clean and flexible APIs for those modules, write automated tests for the modules, and combine multiple modules into an end-to-end techs tack in minutes.

Key elements are
Docker
Infrastructure as Code
Container Orchestration
The demo-goods will hopefully be on our side, as this talk includes quite some live demos!
How to test infrastructure code: automated testing for Terraform, Kubernetes,...Yevgeniy Brikman
This talk is a step-by-step, live-coding class on how to write automated tests for infrastructure code, including the code you write for use with tools such as Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, and Packer. Topics covered include unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests, test parallelism, retries, error handling, static analysis, and more.
Declare your infrastructure: InfraKit, LinuxKit and MobyMoby Project
InfraKit is a toolkit for infrastructure orchestration. With an emphasis on immutable infrastructure, it breaks down infrastructure automation and management processes into small, pluggable components. These components work together to actively ensure the infrastructure state matches the user's specifications. InfraKit therefore provides infrastructure support for higher-level container orchestration systems and can make your infrastructure self-managing and self-healing.

to help make it safe and accessible.
Using Terraform to manage the configuration of a Cisco ACI fabric.Joel W. King
Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code software tool created by HashiCorp. It is written in GoLang. Cisco has developed an ACI terraform provider used to interact with the Cisco APIC. Network engineers define and provision the ACI infrastructure using a declarative configuration language known as HCL, HashiCorp Configuration Language.
This session will begin with a short presentation on Terraform and how it can be used to manage resources in an ACI fabric. There is a companion GitLab repository (https://gitlab.com/joelwking/terraform_aci) which will be used as a demo environment. Attendees can download Vagrant and VirtualBox to their laptop and execute the demonstration using the Cisco DevNet Always-on ACI sandbox.
Aprovisionamiento multi-proveedor con Terraform - Plain Concepts DevOps dayPlain Concepts
La infraestructura como código (IaC) es una de las prácticas relacionadas con la cultura DevOps que está cogiendo más tracción en el desarrollo de software y Terraform es una de las herramientas más recomendadas para ello.
Se suele relacionar sobre todo con la creación de infraestructura en los grandes servicios “Cloud” -AWS, Azure, Google Cloud,…- pero es además algo aplicable a otros aspectos de IT como podrían ser la creación de usuarios en servicios de terceros o propios (Github, bases de datos,…), configuración de dominios (Dyn, GoDaddy,…), configuración de alertas (Grafana, OpsGenie)…
Durante esta sesión se explicará su funcionamiento básico y veremos en directo despliegues en varias de estas plataformas.
Jan Stępień - GraalVM: Fast, Polyglot, Native - Codemotion Berlin 2018Codemotion
GraalVM challenges the status quo on the JVM. This newly-released JIT compiler brings substantial speed improvements and support for polyglot applications. It also allows us to translate our JVM bytecode into self-contained native binaries. In this session we’ll explore GraalVM’s potential. We’ll focus on Clojure, but our discussion will apply to many more programming languages. We’ll use GraalVM to build small native binaries. We’ll discuss the method’s limitations and their impact. Finally, we’ll build complete Clojure web apps weighing a fraction of their traditional JVM incarnations.

Cloud adoption fails - 5 ways deployments go wrong and 5 solutionsYevgeniy Brikman
"All happy cloud deployments are alike; each unhappy cloud deployment is unhappy in its own way." — Leo Tolstoy, Site Reliability Engineer
At Gruntwork, I've had the chance to see the cloud adoption journeys of hundreds of companies, from tiny startups to Fortune 50 giants. I've seen those journeys go well. I've seen those journeys go poorly. In this talk, I discuss a few of the ways cloud adoption can go horribly wrong (massive cost overruns, endless death marches, security disasters), and more importantly, how you can get it right.
To help you get it right, we looked at the cloud journeys that were successful and extracted from them the patterns they had in common. We distilled all this experience down into something called the Gruntwork Production Framework, which defines five concrete steps you can follow to adopt the cloud at your own company—and hopefully, to end up with your very own happy cloud deployment.
Lessons learned from writing over 300,000 lines of infrastructure codeYevgeniy Brikman

Node.js vs Play Framework (with Japanese subtitles)Yevgeniy Brikman
Video: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1410857293
Here's the showdown you've been waiting for: Node.js vs Play Framework. Both are popular open source web frameworks that are built for developer productivity, asynchronous I/O, and the real time web. But which one is easier to learn, test, deploy, debug, and scale? Should you pick Javascript or Scala? The Google v8 engine or the JVM? NPM or Ivy? Grunt or SBT? Two frameworks enter, one framework leaves.
This version of the presentation has Japanese subtitles. For the English only version, see http://www.slideshare.net/brikis98/nodejs-vs-play-framework

Web pages can get very complex and slow. In this talk, I share how we solve some of these problems at LinkedIn by leveraging composition and streaming in the Play Framework. This was my keynote for Ping Conference 2014 ( http://www.ping-conf.com/ ): the video is on ustream ( http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/42801129 ) and the sample code is on github ( https://github.com/brikis98/ping-play ).
Video of the presentation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z3h4Uv9YbE
At LinkedIn, we have started to use the Play Framework to build front-end and back-end services at massive scale. Play does things a little differently: it's a Java and Scala web framework, but it doesn't follow the servlet spec; it's fairly new, but it runs on top of robust technologies like Akka and Netty; it uses a thread pool, but it's built for non-blocking I/O and reactive programming; most importantly, it's high performance, but also high productivity. We've found that the Play Framework is one of the few frameworks that is able to maintain the delicate balance of performance, reliability, and developer productivity. In the Java and Scala world, nothing even comes close. In this talk, I'll share what we've learned so far, including details of rapid iteration with Java and Scala, the story behind async I/O on the JVM, support for real time web apps (comet, WebSockets), and integrating Play into a large existing codebase.
Startup DNA: the formula behind successful startups in Silicon Valley (update...Yevgeniy Brikman

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
Use the plan command to see
what you’re about to deploy
16. variable "name" {
description = "The name of the EC2 instance"
}
Define a variable. description,
default, and type are optional.
17. resource "aws_instance" "example" {
ami = "ami-408c7f28"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
tags { Name = "${var.name}" }
}
Note the use of ${} syntax to
reference var.name in tags
variable "name" {
description = "The name of the EC2 instance"
}
18. > terraform plan
var.name
Enter a value: foo
~ aws_instance.example
tags.Name: "terraform-example" => "foo"
Use plan to verify your changes. It
prompts you for the variable.
19. > terraform apply -var name=foo
aws_instance.example: Refreshing state...
aws_instance.example: Modifying...
tags.Name: "terraform-example" => "foo"
aws_instance.example: Modifications complete
Apply complete! Resources: 0 added, 1 changed, 0 destroyed.
You can also pass variables using
the -var parameter
21. resource "aws_eip" "example" {
instance = "${aws_instance.example.id}”
}
Notice the use of ${} to depend on
the id of the aws_instance
resource "aws_instance" "example" {
ami = "ami-408c7f28"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
tags { Name = "${var.name}" }
}

-backend=s3
-backend-config=bucket=my-s3-bucket
-backend-config=key=terraform.tfstate
-backend-config=encrypt=true

configure the module
82. module "frontend" {

}
Use the module in stage
(stage/frontend/main.tf)
83. module "frontend" {
source = "./modules/frontend"
name = "frontend-prod"
ami = "ami-123abcd"
memory = 2048

Example Terraform code
(prod/frontend/main.tf)
101. resource "aws_instance" "example" {
count = 3
ami = "${var.ami}"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
tags { Name = "${var.name}-${count.index}" }
}
Create three EC2 Instances, each
with a different name
102. Do even more with interpolation
functions:
terraform.io/docs/configuration/interpolation.html
103. resource "aws_instance" "example" {
count = 3
ami = "${element(var.amis, count.index)}"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
tags { Name = "${var.name}-${count.index}" }
}
variable "amis" {
type = "list"
default = ["ami-abc123", "ami-abc456", "ami-abc789"]
}
Create three EC2 Instances, each
with a different AMI
104. output "all_instance_ids" {
value = ["${aws_instance.example.*.id}"]
}
output "first_instance_id" {
value = "${aws_instance.example.0.id}"
}
Note: resources with count are
actually lists of resources!
107. But you can do a limited form of
if-statement using count
108. resource "aws_instance" "example" {
count = "${var.should_create_instance}"
ami = "ami-abcd1234"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
tags { Name = "${var.name}" }
}
variable "should_create_instance" {
default = true
}
Note the use of a boolean in the
count parameter
116. Valid plan to create IAM instance
profiles
> terraform plan
+ aws_iam_instance_profile.instance_profile
arn: "<computed>"
create_date: "<computed>"
name: "stage-iam-nat-role"
path: "/"
roles.2760019627: "stage-iam-nat-role"
unique_id: "<computed>”
Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
118. You get an error
> terraform apply
Error applying plan:
* Error creating IAM role stage-iam-nat-role:
EntityAlreadyExists: Role with name stage-iam-nat-role already
exists
status code: 409, requestId: [e6812c4c-6fac-495c-be9d]

* aws_iam_instance_profile.instance_profile: diffs didn't
match during apply. This is a bug with Terraform and should be
reported.
* aws_security_group.asg_security_group_stg: diffs didn't
match during apply. This is a bug with Terraform and should be
reported.
The most generic one: diffs didn’t
match during apply
128. Most of these are harmless. Just
re-run terraform apply.
129. And try to run Terraform close to
your AWS region (replica lag)
146. Advantages of Terraform:
1. Define infrastructure-as-code
2. Concise, readable syntax
3. Reuse: inputs, outputs, modules
4. Plan command!
5. Cloud agnostic
6. Very active development
147. Disadvantages of Terraform:
1. Maturity. You will hit bugs.
2. Collaboration on Terraform state is
tricky (but not with terragrunt)
3. No rollback
4. Poor secrets management
