You know our fondness for Terraform, but we are also open to exploring other tools. This episode is no different. We are joined by Igor Soroka, an expert in AWS serverless technology whose tool of choice is AWS CDK, but at the same time, he is no stranger to Terraform. We ask him practical questions about the tool and get answers based on his experience applying it to real-life projects. If you have been curious about CDK, how it functions, and if it's appropriate for you, then tune in to learn more. Connect with us on LinkedIn or Twitter (see info at https://devsecops.fm/about/).

In this episode, Mattias is joined by Ben Goodman, the founder of dragondrop.cloud, a platform that offers Terraform Best Practices as a Pull Request. They discuss the best workflows for Terraform, open-source tools that can be used in conjunction with Terraform, the most effective best practices, and common pitfalls to avoid when implementing infrastructure as code using Terraform.

In this episode of DevSecOps Talks, join Andrey, Julien, and Mattias as they dive into the world of Backstage, the notable internal development platform. Mattias is keen to peel back the layers and understand what makes people think of Backstage as a must-have in modern DevOps toolchains. Andrey highlights the platform's core feature: a comprehensive registry that keeps track of every software service running within a company. Could this signify a revival of IT change management, but with a twist? We've moved on from the days of cumbersome ticketing systems to streamlined internal development platforms. The team also ponders the future role of infrastructure engineers as they navigate the rising tides of AI—will AI become the new face behind these developer portals?

Our dialogue with Paul Stack resumes on DevSecOps Talks, almost two years after our initial podcast about his work on Pulumi (episode 25). As a warm-up, we talk about what prompted his move from Pulumi and his take on Open Terraform drama. The main topic of the episode is Paul's current focus, System Initiative; we probe into its purpose, the progress so far, and the promise it holds for redefining how we think of doing Infrastructure as Code and DevSecOps workflows in general.   Connect with us on LinkedIn or Twitter (see info at https://devsecops.fm/about/).
