Streamlining Compliance: Leveraging Open-Source Terraform AWS modules

Are you navigating the complexities of compliance frameworks like SOC2, CIS, and HIPAA and seeking a more efficient path? This talk breaks down these frameworks simply and shows you a time-saving trick, making it perfect for anyone wanting to make their organization's compliance journey much easier.

I'll start by outlining the basics of these frameworks and highlighting the challenges businesses face in implementing them.

As the creator and maintainer of the terraform-aws-modules projects, I'll be excited to share how using these open-source Terraform AWS modules can streamline the compliance process. I'll walk you through real-life examples showing how such solutions significantly reduce the effort and time required for compliance.

At the end of the talk, attendees will get actionable insights on using Terraform AWS modules for efficient compliance management.

Doing serverless on AWS with Terraform for real

More and more companies are adopting serverless technologies as the community is defining the best practices, tools, and patterns.

Companies using Terraform as their infrastructure as a code tool are often required to reinvent the wheel when they work with serverless.

In the talk, I will explain why managing serverless applications with Terraform is a good idea and how https://serverless.tf open-source project has started as an organic response to the accidental complexity of many existing tools used by serverless developers.

I will demo a complete serverless application (including building and deploying it) using Terraform and open-source components.

I have a few live streams on my YouTube channel where I was talking about it - https://www.youtube.com/c/AntonBabenkoLive/search?query=serverless

Workshop: Practical EDA using Serverless and Terraform

This advanced workshop explores the technical details of Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) using open-source technologies Terraform AWS modules ( https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules , were downloaded 200 million times) and Serverless.tf ( https://serverless.tf/ ).

Key takeaways:

Understanding EDA & Serverless: A technical deep-dive into the architecture pattern of EDA using serverless paradigms, and a detailed look at AWS's serverless offerings and their architectural advantages.

Initiating Infrastructure: Set up an initial infrastructure environment by deploying pre-configured AWS resources, ensuring resource allocation and management.

Cloud Resource Manipulation with Terraform: Master the techniques of importing existing AWS resources into Terraform, optimizing resource utilization and cost efficiency.

Modularity in Cloud Infrastructure resources: Dive deeper into Terraform's module-centric approach, enabling code reuse, consistency in deployment, and simplified infrastructure scaling.

Lifecycle & Refactoring: Emphasize the technical aspects of the infrastructure lifecycle, focusing on code quality, refactoring strategies, and Terraform's state management to ensure a maintainable and evolvable codebase.

Implementing Serverless Patterns: Engage with common serverless architectural patterns, discussing their design rationales and implementation strategies using Terraform AWS modules.

Attendees will learn about serverless deployment, best practices with Terraform, and strategies for effective EDA implementation.
