Even AI is good enough to generate YAML now. However, to secure your job, you will need tools that use more complex general-purpose programming languages.
Jokes aside, we’ll look at a fleet of tools you can use for common configuration and environment setup tasks without touching any Yaml. From creating complex CI pipelines to setting up a local development environment to managing your cloud infrastructure and deployments, lots of essential parts of the cloud-native project setup can all be done in your favorite programming languages. You'll learn how open-source tools abstract container configuration and management (Testcontainers), build tool actions (Dagger), and cloud infrastructure setup (Pulumi).

This session will teach you how to use these tools and give you enough time to start building customized experiences for your application development teams.
