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.
