Schedule VIScon 2023

This workshop teaches participants hands-on how to use Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and GitOps to provision cloud environments.

We’ll create our own infrastructure on Azure via Terraform and automate the process with a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline.

Additionally, we’ll show how we use these technologies on enterprise IT projects to create infrastructure at scale.

Basic knowledge in Git is required, learning & fun is guaranteed!

Workshop Goals
