env0 automates and simplifies the governance of cloud deployments for Terraform, Terragrunt, Pulumi, and other IaC frameworks.

Learn about the Top Management Challenges in Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

In this interview, env0 DevOps Advocate, Tim Davis and CEO and Chief Geek, Ohad Maislish, talk about the Top Management Challenges in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), which consist of:

- Access Control / Compliance
- Security from the SaaS provider
- Workflow Management issues
- Extensibility / Integrations

There are many challenges that come from scaling technology past one person on their laptop, to a team of people needing centralized management. In this discussion, we will go over the top challenges in-depth and how env0 helps resolve those challenges.

Top Management Challenges in Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

In this webinar, env0 DevOps Advocate Tim Davis will be joined by Ryder Damen, the new Developer Advocate with Indeni. We'll go over the complex topic of Compliance in continuous automation, and even show a demo of Cloudrail in action in the env0 platform! Join us!

Continuous Compliance with Cloudrail and env0!

Are you currently automating your Infrastructure as Code/Terraform deployments, or are you investigating that ability now? One key piece of being successful is making sure you don't overrun the budget when you open up the ability to deploy to teams. 
Tim Davis and Ohad Maislish from env0 are joining forces with Hassan Hosseini of Infracost to dive into why enabling cost estimation and monitoring is so important when you automate your infrastructure as code deployments. With Infrastructure as Code, developers today influence the infracture much more than they used to. Developers can really take more ownership when shifting left responsibility to them - With security, performance, and now also with cloud cost. Not only knowing what a deployment plan will do, but how much it will cost, can be mission critical in ensuring the success of a project. 
You'll hear some great discussion, and also see a live demo of Infracost in action inside of the env0 platform. Make sure to bring your questions, because we'll answer them live!
Key discussion points:
- What is Infrastructure as Code?
- The new role of developers in the IaC era
- How cloud cost affects the development lifecycle
- Why it is important to shift left cloud cost

Shifting left cloud cost with Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure and application deployment automation is not new. Tools like CI/CD pipelines and more have been around for a while. But what happens when you need to add in other operational tasks? Checking budget, checking performance, checking security. All of these things are very important to the business and should not be an afterthought. In this webinar, we will talk about shifting security left in your Infrastructure as Code Automation workflows. We'll be joined by Sean O'Dell, Director of DevRel at Accurics. We'll integrate Terrascan into a workflow, and show the power of dealing with security in each and every deployment or update.

Tim Davis is the DevOps Advocate for env0. Prior to env0, Tim helped build the Cloud and Developer Advocacy team at VMware. His background is in Infrastructure Operations / Architecture, while always focusing on the business critical applications that run the business. While at VMware, his focus area was on DevOps Process / Procedure, and CI/CD Process / Tooling.

Sean O'Dell is a reformed infrastructure administrator and architect with a passion for enabling Developers and Application teams to succeed in a secure Multi-Cloud world. Sean also believes that traditional Enterprise IT organizations can (and should) implement a modern approach by embedding DevOps and SecOps practices and principles into the culture with a goal of delivering for the business.

Shifting Security Left with env0

Is your DevOps team looking to start your journey into Infrastructure as Code? Or have you already jumped in head-first? Either way, this session is for you! We'll talk about many of the common pitfalls of IaC, and how you can avoid them. From infrastructure pitfalls, to coding pitfalls, we'll go over all kinds of things that you may not have thought of yet. Get your questions ready, because I'm here to help you be successful in your IaC journey!

Infrastructure as code is the right direction for your organization, see how env0 helps to automate and simplify the provisioning of cloud deployments for Terraform, Terragrunt and GitOps workflows.

As more and more organizations harness the elasticity of cloud infrastructure, the concept of infrastructure as code is becoming the universal method for orchestrating and deploying these modern infrastructures with Terraform as industry standard.
Key discussion points: 
- What is Infrastructure as Code?
- What are the types of Pitfalls involved?
- Common Infrastructure Pitfalls
- Common Coding Pitfalls

Common Pitfalls of Infrastructure as Code, and How DevOps teams Can Avoid Them

Do you currently have a single staging / development environment that everyone uses? 
Does this cause problems when multiple people need to make changes at once? 
In this session we are going to talk about the process of migrating from static environments to dynamic environments using Terraform and env0. But, don’t worry, these concepts can be translated across any type of environment. 
These concepts can be applied to all kinds of infrastructure as code:
Terraform
Terragrunt
Pulumi
CloudFormation
ARM Templates

And they can be applied across all types of clouds and platforms:
AWS
Azure
GCP
Kubernetes (managed, unmanaged)
Serverless

So if you’re ready to take your development to the next level, make sure to join this session and learn how to migrate from static to dynamic environment workflows.

How to utilize Dynamic Environments quickly with Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure as code is the right direction for your organization, see how env0 helps to automate and simplify the provisioning of cloud deployments for Terraform, Terragrunt and GitOps workflows.

As more and more organizations harness the elasticity of cloud infrastructure, the concept of infrastructure as code is becoming the universal method for orchestrating and deploying these modern infrastructures with Terraform as industry standard.

In this webinar, Ohad Maislish and Tim Davis will explain the specific workflow challenges DevOps encounter today, and will explore how you can automate the deployment of cloud resources on platforms like AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, without having to go into the provider's portal each time by leveraging Terraform and env0.
Key discussion points:
1. Where should I run my Terraform? Locally? CI? Or Other?
2. How do you manage cloud deployment approvals? 
3. What is the best way to approve PR’s with infrastructure changes?
4. What notifications are relevant to track infrastructure changes?
5. IaC Automation Demo
