Discover Pulumi Through Hands-On Practice
2025-02-05, 13:00–17:00, Pulp (B.1.029)

Are you new to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) or a seasoned expert exploring alternatives to Terraform? Perhaps you’re simply curious about Pulumi. Whatever your starting point, join us for a hands-on lab to dive into this open-source IaC solution.

Rather than just hearing about Pulumi’s benefits, you'll have the chance to form your own opinion by coding a small infrastructure project in Azure.

This lab is a fantastic opportunity to familiarize yourself with Pulumi’s core concepts while exploring advanced features, such as:

  • General functionality (declarative IaC, state management, backends, providers)
  • Resources, inputs, and outputs
  • Configuration and environment management with stacks
  • Security and encryption of secrets
  • Integration with existing infrastructure
  • Usage within a CI/CD pipeline

Come and experience Pulumi in action!

As a Senior Solutions Architect at Pulumi with over 15 years of experience in the IT industry, including roles at the Schwarz Group and W&W Versicherungen, I bring extensive expertise with an end-user and enterprise focus. Currently working for a startup while collaborating with enterprise clients has further enriched my experience!

I began my career as a Java backend developer, transitioned to frontend development, and ultimately specialized in CI/CD and DevOps. Working with ANT and Cruise Control to switch to Jenkins and Microsoft Team Foundation Server added some traumas on top! But as they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I have now embraced the dynamic world of DevOps and Platform Engineering, leveraging cloud technologies and Kubernetes.

Recently, I have been exploring AI to find ways to make myself redundant in the future.
