Abstract: 

Sure we love Infrastructure as Code, but it's not the end of the story. This talk steps back to see how different automation types and components can be connected together to create Infrastructure Pipelines. We'll review the nine essential questions that turn great automation into modular, portal, and continuous infrastructure delivery pipelines.

Rob Hirschfeld, RackN

Do you keep wondering why building automation is so hard and even harder to share as a community? That really bugs Rob too! He has been creating software to collaboratively automate infrastructure for over 20 years. His latest startup, RackN, focuses on providing Distributed IaC automation and abstraction layers for provisioning Cloud, Edge, and Enterprise data centers. He is also building a forward-looking operator community at the2030.cloud with weekly DevOps and future hallway-type discussions.
