Writing Infrastructure as Code in Typescript
The most popular way of writing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is currently in Terraform using the domain-specific HCL language. What if you don't want to learn HCL, and want to write your IaC in Typescript, Python, Java, C# or Go? There are two technologies which are gaining in popularity which allow just this: Pulumi and CDK for Terraform (CDKTF). In this talk, I will review all three of these technologies and discuss their strengths and weaknesses as well as scenarios which would favor one of these technologies or another.
Using Kubernetes in AWS with Terraform and Kustomize
In this talk we'll review best practices for deploying a simple web application to a multi-account/environment using Kubernetes (EKS) in AWS. We'll focus on the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle. We'll setup the infrastructure using Terraform and use Terragrunt for dynamic Terraform configurations. We'll also be using the Kustomize tool which has been gaining in popularity and handles much of what Helm is commonly used for. We'll be using Kustomize to create Kubernetes templates that are unique for each environment. We'll ensure we're applying the DRY principle to both Terraform and Kubernetes and only distinguishing parameters that are unique for each environment.
