Terraform: from zero to madness
Timur is a DevOps professional from Berlin with 7 years of experience in the field. He is also an active speaker on various meet-ups, podcasts and conferences (HashiTalks, DevOpsDays), as well as a co-organiser of monthly Berlin AWS User Group meet-ups. He is currently working at TIER Mobility SE as a Senior DevOps Engineer in Core Infrastructure & Developer Experience team.
Do you want to know how Terraform scales with your organisation? You will learn about usual stages of Terraform adoption in a growing environment and learn how to avoid some of the pitfalls of those stages.
I have worked a lot as a consultant and have touched a lot of cloud infrastructures. I’ve been building Terraform-driven infrastructure from scratch for teeny-tiny startups, I’ve been working with Terraform codebase of enterprises, I’ve seen it all. I know how Terraform usage looks like when a company just has started its journey with it and I know what it becomes when it’s used in a big experienced company.
In this talk I will tell you about typical evolution of Terraform code and you might even recognise on which stage you are now. That will hopefully help you to avoid some of the pitfalls awaiting for you around the corner and build a better solution.
defguard - open source privacy focused security platform
Robert: Maker (security, electronics, ham radio callsign: HF1T, software-defined radio). Founder and part of the @teonite team.
I would like to introduce our open-source security platform defguard to a wider audience. Anyone interested in securing their environments, projects and organisations is a target audience. I would like to talk about secure environments, projects and organisations - why it is important and then what can defguard provide in that aspect.
Fun with Lego, Postman, OpenAI, and Aleph Alpha
Johannes Nicolai is a long-time open-source enthusiast and contributor. He is interested in all things API design, IssueOps, integrations, CI/CD, and generative AI - check out his GitHub profile (@jonico) to learn more about his projects. In his current role at Postman, he is helping customers in central Europe to adopt API-first best practices and developer workflows established from his time at GitHub and PlanetScale. Before GitHub, he led the local version control teams at CollabNet - the founders of Subversion and SourceForge - so branching and merging everywhere he goes.
The talk is 90 percent a live demo (what could possibly go wrong :-), where we first explore the Postman Public API network to find interesting AI API workspaces like OpenAI and Aleph Alpha (and then find Waldo with the help of AI). We will try out the examples in those workspaces, including Postman's ability to visualize API responses programatically (this is where the lego comes in), use credential helpers for popular APIs and introduce request chaining for more powerful automation ideas. We will close with a Harry Potter-API based example on how to generate non trivial API test cases using postbot - Postman's built-in AI based helper. All functionalities demoed are available in Postman's free plans, so no hidden sales pitches coming ;-)
