When every dev team rolls out their own infrastructure dependencies you know what is coming: chaos. In one of my recent projects I ended up with hundreds of Terraform solutions, sometimes even split across different teams working on the same app. It worked, but it was not pretty.

That is when I gave the teams some ASO powers. With the Azure Service Operator they could deploy their application dependencies in the same way they already deploy their containers. Suddenly things looked a lot cleaner, more consistent and easier to manage.

In this session I will share what that looked like in practice, the lessons learned, the benefits and of course a demo. You will walk away with concrete ideas on how to cut down Terraform sprawl, make life easier for your developers and bring some order back into your deployments.
