It's fairly common now for teams to be in charge of deploying their own architecture using infrastructure as code (IaC). While this is a good practice, it also adds another knowledge requirements to teams to learn the IaC language and ecosystem.

What if teams could write IaC in a language they already excel in and use everyday?

This session will introduce Pulumi, a library enabling exactly that. Attendees will be given an overview of Pulumi and its benefits, as well as comparisons to existing choices. Using C#, there will be a live demo using Pulumi to deploy resources to Azure. Those resources will be then used to run a C# app, showing how teams can stay entirely within one language to deploy their apps.

Presentation outline:
- Infrastructure as Code
- Typical Options
- Pulumi
- Benefits to Teams and Organizations
- Coding demo (this will be the bulk of the presentation)
- Recap, closing thoughts, questions
