In this episode of the vBrownBag, a host is a guest! Damian does a deep dive into the vBrownBag Meatgrinder, an event-driven automation solution built with AWS Serverless that powers the show behind the scenes. Meatgrinder uses AWS S3, Event Bridge, Step Functions, Lambda, and Cloud Watch and handles post-production automation of vBrownBag content. We'll talk about the design decisions made while architecting the solution, and lessons learned along the way.

Riaan Nolan is a HashiCorp Ambassador that has developed Hashiqube, a DevOps development lab that runs all HashiCorp products. Hashiqube has a Docker daemon inside meaning we can run containers inside Hashiqube using Kubernetes (Minikube) or Nomad or Docker run. It runs all Hashicorp products: Vault, Terraform, Nomad, Consul, Waypoint, Boundary, Vagrant, Packer and Sentinel.
It also runs a host of other popular Open Source DevOps/DevSecOps applications (Minikube, Ansible AWX Tower, Traefik etc.) showcasing how simple integration with Hashicorp products can result in tangible learnings and benefits for all its users.
In this episode, we'll explore HashiQube on GitHub CodeSpaces.
