This workshop takes engineers from a working Azure DevOps project to a fully automated infrastructure pipeline using Terraform for provisioning and SaltStack for configuration management — the exact stack delivered in production at Pune DevCon 2019.

Participants work through: structuring Terraform for real-world modules (not tutorials), integrating state management in Azure Pipelines, managing secrets without putting them in YAML, running SaltStack configuration runs as pipeline stages, and enforcing policy gates before any change touches production. The session assumes working Azure DevOps access and basic familiarity with cloud infrastructure concepts.
