We rewind the clock and ask ourselves: what if Infrastructure as Code never existed? What different solutions might we have come up with to the problems we faced? We’ll leave you full of possibilities about the future.
In this talk, we’ll provide an alternate history of what could have been - by peeling back the layers of assumptions and history, and construct an alternate reality for how to solve the problems we faced. We’ll go from the foundational concepts of modern Configuration Management and Infrastructure as Code, all the way to a vision for how an alternative approach would work, and how it would be dramatically different from today.
