Sessions
We will teach attendees the basics of DevOps and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in a fun gamified way that combines learning DevOps fundamentals with making "line go up". Attendees will gain hands-on expertise with both AWS and HashiCorp Terraform in a free, safe, and sand-boxed environment.
I'll explore what it takes to build a fully local AI agent for Terraform code generation, making use of your own private module library, style guides and best practices. I'll also cover realistic model choices for developer hardware and cover how to avoid accidentally turning your laptop into a space heater mid-demo.
