Meet devs where they are: Why IaC must be real code
Jeremy Adams, Head of Ecosystem at Dagger, presented at PulumiUp 2024. In case you missed it, you can watch the presentation here!
Up to now, integrating IaC into developer workflows and CI/CD pipelines has meant teams need to learn a new language or do everything in bespoke YAML -- immediately creating barriers to both adoption and collaboration.
There is a better path! Using real code (that teams already use for applications) for both IaC and CI/CD pipelines. Jeremy will delve into the why and how of this strategy and provide a technical demonstration of automating containerized build and deploy pipelines using Pulumi and Dagger.
