Talking the Future of Tech
Today’s episode, we talked about the challenge of making Modular Automation. We broke down why that is so hard and really dug into ways in which we can increase the modularity and reuse of automation.
That led us to talking about infrastructure pipelines, infrastructure, reuse, and sharing state via digital twins in infrastructure.
All of this comes together in really fascinating ways!

Cloud provisioning is very difficult when you go beyond simple provisioning and start thinking about how to to stitch together infrastructure in a repeatable way!
Specifically, today’s episode is a deep dive into Terraform usage patterns.
We get very hands on as we talk about how you manage state files and how you connect things together with Terraform.
We will spend a significant amount of time discussing in the fall because building infrastructure in a scalable automatable way, is a critical topic for the group.
This is an ongoing topic for us – stay tuned for more episodes!

This episode is about Terraform orchestration, what some people might call a TACO, in which we actually tried to do cloud provisioning in a orchestrated way. But this is a really challenging thing to do!
Orchestration is really hard so our discussion kept coming back to saying that this isn’t orchestration at all: it’s Infrastructure as Code and management.
We need to find a consistent way to to run a workflow or a control plane. We’re not even getting to the point where we’re coordinating or orchestrating aspects of different systems and using remote or API driven infrastructure.
Even if you use Terraform, you will get a lot out of this discussion!

Joining us this week is Ohad Maislish, CEO and Co-Founder of env0.
About env0
We started env0 in 2018 with the goal of helping extend the power of Infrastructure as Code to everyone on the team. We found the IaC frameworks are too focused on the purely technical elements of deploying infrastructure and missed the connection back to the business. And the existing IaC management tools were all focused on just helping the SRE/DevOps team but not actually changing the way that deployments worked.
env0 is dedicated to providing the self service that your team expects from the cloud, while maintaining the governance, cost control, and visibility that you need to securely deploy your infrastructure with confidence.
