Inspiring Tech Leaders - AI & Technology Strategy

In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I'm exploring the use of Digital Twins and the benefits that they can provide to organisations and communities.

The commoditisation of cloud computing and the rapid growth of IoT enabled devices has created an environment that more readily supports the creation and integration of Digital Twins.

In this podcast, I take a closer look at the Gemini principles and the importance of the Information Management Framework when considering the skills and competencies required to develop and support Digital Twins.

In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I’m taking a closer look at Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and looking at the benefits it can help to provide when provisioning and decommissioning IT Infrastructure.

Infrastructure as code enables developers or IT Infrastructure teams to automatically manage, monitor and provision resources, rather than manually configuring hardware and operating systems.

Listen to the podcast to discover whether you should consider an imperative or declarative programming approach to developing your code and if you should opt for a mutable or immutable environment to avoid configuration drift.
