Transcript

1. IaC Adoption Ready When You Are MFEC x Google Cloud Thailand Betagro Bootcamp 2025-10-03
2. Karn Wong De-stress by deploying stuff to my homelab HashiCorp Ambassador Blog & Portfolio karnwong.me Independent Consultant
3. Behind Workloads There Is Infrastructure
4. Application Anatomy Data Tier Database App Excluding networking layer
5. Basic Application Infrastructure Networking Database Compute 100 apps, have fun configuring them by hand Don’t forget secrets and configs 🫢
6. Bare Metal Setup Setup VPC + firewalls Spin up VM Install runtime Clone source code + copy env & config Build app Setup systemd service (*some use tmux) Start service Excluding database setup
7. Post-Deployment Operations Monitoring Logging Alerting CI/CD
8. The Elephants in the Room Reproducibility Load balancing Autoscaling Auto-healing Zero-downtime upgrade Rollbacks
9. Containerization Can run anywhere Frozen app version and dependencies Still does not solve: Load balancing Autoscaling Auto-healing Zero-downtime upgrade Rollbacks
10. Microservices Self-managed vs PaaS Self-managed - still need to solve reliability issues PaaS - bring your code, platform manages the rest The catch: runtimes can get deprecated It’s a design pattern
11. Container Orchestration What you’ll get out of the box Monitoring Logging Load balancing Autoscaling Auto-healing Zero-downtime upgrade Rollbacks ⎈ Kubernetes / GKE / Cloud Run
12. When to Use IaC When you are tired of configuring everything by hand Re-rolling prod secrets isn’t fun 😭
13. What You’ll Get With IaC Easier infra rollbacks & teardown Devs won’t bother infra team when they need to setup a sandbox Everyone is on the same page regarding prod configs IaC as documentation Cost reporting integration
