The Cloud is a fun place to create new things. Every piece of infrastructure you ever wanted is just a click away, well a few clicks away. And clicking is no fun if you have to do it over and over again.

What if you could create all of your infrastructure just by describing what you want, just like making cooking instructions? What if you could make your infrastructure changes predictable? Well then, let's talk!

In this session we will see what awesome things you can do with AWS CloudFormation, CDK, Terraform, and others. How you can use Infrastructure as Code to make your infrastructure management fast, fun, and secure!

Karol Havrillay  

Karol Havrillay is a Lead Architect for Public Cloud at Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions in Kosice, Slovakia specializing in topics around security and compliance on AWS.

During his 14+ years in the field he had gained experience in both technical and non-technical roles across multiple industries until he became passionate about cloud computing and many of its benefits.

He is especially amazed by the huge variety of ready-to-use services in AWS enabling companies to build new products and bring value to the customers at an unprecedented pace and thus shortening their time-to-value and time-to-market.

In the current DevOps era we all strive for smooth and convenient deployments from our code repositories to environments running on AWS. The typical solution is a proper CI/CD pipeline which however needs to be authenticated against AWS. Usually our pipeline has multiple branches and stages pointing to different AWS accounts representing those SDLC stages. Creating IAM users with static credentials for this purpose will certainly cause the security officers a headache. Long-term credentials can be dangerous and should be avoided whenever possible. Join me in this talk where I will show you how we reduced security risks by (almost) completely getting rid of long-term credentials, how this made our developers' lives easier and how we keep track of mappings between repositories, stages and target AWS environments.
