Infrastructure as a Code
A casual chat with my co-mentor about HashiTalks and the HashiCorp stack — Packer, Vagrant, Terraform, Consul, Vault, Nomad, and friends. Notes-to-self for future deep dives.

In the middle of the afternoon, I had a casual chat with my co-mentor. We were discussing the HashiTalks event coming up on July 29th.
There are so many interesting topics to be covered. My co-mentor mentioned a few key ones:
Packer: for creating VM images (supports KVM)Vagrant: for building VMs (supports VirtualBox, Docker)Terraform: for building cloud infrastructure (supports AWS, Linode, etc.)Consul: for networking (supports clusters, load balancing, multi-data center/zone)Boundary: (not applicable)Vault: for storing keys and secrets (supports .env files in apps, SSL, etc.)Nomad: for container orchestration (supports HA, Docker, Kubernetes)Waypoint: provides a modern workflow to build, deploy, and release across platforms (not applicable)I copied his chat directly, haha. I think I should write about these topics later.
Infra as code, are you ready to rock? 😛@tox - www.sysadmin.idThanks, Pak! Let me sharpen my ax first.
