IGNITE TALK ABSTRACT

Would like to describe the transformation process GE Digital has been going through with maintaining Cloud Infrastructure from point and manual click to source controlled to peer-reviewed infrastructure as code.

Describe some of the challenges faced during this transformation:

1. Culture
2. Git good with Git.
3. Keep it simple stupid. (Start Small).
   

We started with standardizing our IAM resources across our 100+ Cloud Provider Accounts. Leverage terraform modules that get deployed to all 100+ accounts.

Describe the use of our CI Jenkins Packer.io pipeline for creating custom Cloud AMI images and the benefits of custom AMI images + terraform provisioning. Why this is a game changer at Predix.IO for scaling out instances for any cloud provider.
