This DevOps / Infrastructure-As-Code with #Vagrant and #Chef workshop is all about automation, configuration management and being able to spin up everything from single servers to whole infrastructures at the push of a button.
Because your infrastructure should be:
- reliably and repeatedly reproducible
- described in a human readable DSL
- treated as code, thus: properly crafted, versioned AND tested!
Using industry proven tools like Vagrant and Chef this is easily achievable today. And even better: no matter if you are developing with local VMs, pushing production code to the cloud, or provisioning legacy servers - you are using the same tools, the same configuration files and the same command line interface. As simple as this: vagrant up
What else will you get from the workshop?
- first class hands-on experience
- a ready to use development environment
- working samples to learn and adapt from
- the big picture: tools, patterns, limitations
- links and documentation for further reading
