Developing Infrastructure as Code with Pulumi

This two-day workshop rooted in theory and real world lab exercises will give you all the tools needed to start developing infrastructure as code.

With Pulumi, you can get all the benefits of infrastructure as code with the programming language you already know and feel comfortable with. Pulumi lets you manage your infrastructure with Node.js, Python, .NET Core, or Go. The flexibility makes this tool valuable. 

In this two-day training, you will learn all about building and managing your infrastructure with Pulumi. An experienced instructor will help you understand the general idea of infrastructure as code and from there on will guide you on how to start with Pulumi. We will cover the architecture of Pulumi. You will discover how it keeps track of your infrastructure and what backend options you have. 

This training is focused on teaching by doing. As soon as you have got the basics covered, you'll start building the infrastructure with Pulumi yourself. We will cover not only how to create and change resources but also more advanced topics like handling secrets, uploading files, creating and enforcing deployment policies, or additional logging. 

Are you feeling as if you do not know where to start with Pulumi? Do not worry. This is not cookie-cutter training. You will be working with experts, so all your questions will be answered. 

The 50-50 mix of theory and lab exercises will provide you with enough tips and best practices as well as real work examples. By the end of this training, you will understand how to use Pulumi within your organization in the best way.
