DevOps Playground - Hands-on Introduction to IaC with Terraform and Minecraft

Note - we are streaming the live event from the office - we might start a few minutes later!

Presenters:

Inspired by Wale’s time at Hashiconf last year, we will introduce principles of Infrastructure as a Code by building a “castle”(and more) in Minecraft with Terraform. In this session, you will build, write and draw in your own Minecraft map. Don’t worry you don’t need to own or know how to play the game - we will only use it as a visual representation of our Infrastructure. If you happen to own the game you can use the client to log in to the server we provide.
At the end of the session, you should know:
* What are Resources and States
* How and when to use variables and locals
* How to create and manage resources
* How to use functions and meta-arguments
* How to write and use Terraform modules
No previous experience is necessary. If you are already a terraform guru - at the end of the session, we encourage everyone to build something cool - that will be your time to shine!

Agenda (in-person, stream will start at 18:30):
18:00 - Doors open, time to settle in and grab a drink!

For those coming to our meet-up for the first time, we believe in learning by doing so please bring a laptop with you! The session will start with a short presentation introducing the topic and lead into a one-hour-long hands-on lab. We will provide an environment for you, so anything with the web browser from this century should be sufficient!
