In this session , we will delve into how integrating development patterns into Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Pipeline as Code (PaC) can transform your DevOps practices. We will explore key patterns such as modularization, state management, and environment parity for IaC, alongside declarative pipelines, multi-stage workflows, and security as code for PaC. These practices will be examined through practical examples and case studies, demonstrating how they enhance automation, scalability, and reliability in your infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.

Attendees will gain actionable insights into leveraging these patterns to create more maintainable and efficient workflows. We will cover advanced strategies, including using module registries, pipeline templates, and integrating security tools within your pipelines. By understanding and applying these techniques, you'll be equipped to streamline your DevOps processes, improve consistency across environments, and ensure robust security and compliance. The session will also feature a Q&A segment, allowing for interactive discussions and knowledge sharing.
