Listen Later

Join Dave in this enlightening conversation with Dan Blanco, Senior Developer
Advocate for the AWS Infrastructure as Code (IaC) team, as they dive deep into the
transformative world of IaC. In an era where manual processes no longer suffice, IaC emerges
as a pivotal technology, enabling developers to provision and manage computing
infrastructure through code, streamlining the setup, update, and maintenance of essential
infrastructure components for application development, testing, and deployment.
In this episode, Dan unveils the latest innovations from his team, including the
groundbreaking AWS CloudFormation Git sync, CDK Migrate, and the IaC Generator. Discover how
the IaC Generator revolutionizes template creation, allowing developers to automatically
generate CloudFormation templates for resources in their accounts, enhancing efficiency and
control over cloud environments.
Beyond the technical, Dave and Dan explore the unique journey of being a developer in the
gaming industry, the transition to cloud careers, and share a feast of food analogies along
with insider knowledge from culinary school. This episode is a must-listen for anyone
looking to understand the future of cloud infrastructure management, control costs, reduce
risks, and seize new business opportunities with agility and speed.
