Cloud Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Workshop
A half-day, hands-on workshop that helps clients move from ad-hoc infrastructure provisioning to a governed, repeatable delivery model with AI, GitOps and platform engineering as accelerators.
What to Expect
A focused working session that helps organizations move from ad-hoc infrastructure provisioning to a governed, repeatable, developer-ready delivery model before inconsistent patterns scale. We're opinionated on the framework and flexible on tools, working across Terraform, CDK and Bicep to meet clients wherever they are.
Our workshop is built on a 9-pillar capability model:
- Code organization & modularity
- State management
- Version control & Git workflow
- Testing & validation
- CI/CD & automation
- Security & policy as code
- Documentation & onboarding
- AI/LLM integration
- Self-service & golden paths
- WHY IT MATTERS TO A TECHNICAL BUYER * Inconsistent provisioning — Console clicks, ad-hoc scripts and environments that take days or weeks. * Operational risk — Rogue apply actions, missing state locking, and undetected drift can create production impact. * Developer friction — Ticket-heavy workflows make platform teams the bottleneck.
- OPERATING MODEL + GOVERNANCE * Git as the source of truth — PR-based change control, mandatory reviews and controlled apply. * Policy-backed delivery — Automated checks before production, drift detection, and reconciliation. * Audit-ready practices — Repeatable evidence instead of manual compliance friction.
- AI + PLATFORM ENGINEERING * AI with guardrails — Use AI for scaffolding, reviews, translation and debugging; keep humans in the loop. * Golden paths — Self-service modules, reusable patterns, and developer-ready workflows. * No tool religion — Align Terraform, CDK, Bicep, and native tools to the operating model.
- WHAT IT DELIVERS * IaC maturity score with prioritized gaps * GitOps workflow design and hands-on exercises * Safe AI prompting patterns plus guardrails * 30-day action plan tied to business outcomes
Goals & Objectives
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Articulate the evolution of IaC and where AI/LLMs fit into modern workflows
- Evaluate IaC tools (Terraform, CDK, Bicep) against your organization's needs
- Design a GitOps workflow for infrastructure with appropriate controls and approvals
- Leverage AI assistants effectively for IaC development while maintaining security
- Assess your current IaC maturity, operating risks, and priority improvement areas
- Create a practical roadmap toward platform engineering and self-service enablement
Benefits
- Deep, hands-on experience across Terraform, CDK, Bicep and cloud-native IaC
- Multicloud and tool-agnostic approach focused on operating models, not tool religion
- Practical path from workshop to production platform: maturity baseline, roadmap, golden paths and enablement
