Discover how Git can modernize the way IT operations teams manage code, track changes, and collaborate across departments. Learn the fundamentals of version control, the role of Git in configuration as code, and how branching, committing, and using platforms like GitHub/GitLab can support cross-team development and disaster recovery.
Begin understanding Configuration as Code (CaC) in the context of hybrid cloud operations. He outlines how CaC allows infrastructure to be defined and managed using source-controlled files, which aligns with established DevOps practices. Daniel emphasizes that CaC helps bring consistency to traditionally manual infrastructure tasks, making it especially relevant for SysOps professionals adapting to cloud-native principles. He draws attention to the parallel between application code and infrastructure definitions, encouraging IT teams to adopt a mindset where infrastructure becomes part of the development lifecycle.
In this session, WEI DevOps 疯情AV Architect Daniel Perrinez dives into Ansible as a practical entry point into automation for SysOps professionals. He explains Ansible鈥檚 agentless architecture, its use of human-readable YAML, and how it simplifies repeatable infrastructure tasks across hybrid environments. The workshop introduces key components鈥攎odules, inventories, playbooks, and roles鈥攚hile walking through real-world use cases like multi-environment deployments using dynamic inventories. Attendees will see how Ansible supports reliable, scalable automation across teams鈥攚hether managing five machines or five hundred.
Identify Terraform fundamentals, including its architecture, configuration language (HCL), CLI workflows, modules, and state management. Learn聽how to create and manage multi-environment and multi-cloud infrastructure using Terraform across AWS, Azure, and GCP.聽The workshop concludes聽with a strong push for incorporating configuration-as-code principles into DevOps pipelines.聽
Dive into the power of APIs and identify how they can be leveraged for automation in system administration using Python. Explore what an API is, how it works and why Python is an excellent choice for writing scripts that interact with APIs. Practical workflows and use cases will be demonstrated, giving attendees real-world examples of how to use APIs and Python to streamline tasks.
In this WEI DevOps workshop, WEI DevOps Engineer Matt Frechette breaks down containerization from an infrastructure operator鈥檚 perspective. Matt starts with the fundamentals and moving into a real-world application. If you鈥檙e responsible for uptime, performance, and modernization, this session is designed to help you understand how containers fit into your existing virtualized and hybrid environments.
