Infrastructure as Code (IaC) isn't just about automating deployments—it's a powerful enabler for developer advocacy and community engagement. As a Developer Advocate at AWS, I've witnessed firsthand how IaC transforms the way we create workshops, enable community contributions, and scale technical education globally.

In this session, I'll share real-world experiences from conducting hands-on AWS workshops and demos across the APJC region, demonstrating how AWS CDK and CloudFormation enable reproducible learning experiences, lower barriers to community contributions, and create scalable advocacy programs. You'll see live demos of workshop infrastructure that can be deployed in minutes, learn patterns for making complex architectures accessible to developers at all skill levels, and discover how IaC enables community members to become active contributors rather than passive consumers.

Whether you're running meetups, building demo applications, or managing community workshops, this talk will show you how treating infrastructure as code can amplify your developer advocacy impact and foster deeper community engagement.
