Revolutionizing DevOps: How Framework-Defined Infrastructure (FdI) Transforms IaC

[Music] hey everyone my name is Malta and I'm the CTO of verel and today I want to talk about framework to find infrastructure in quite some depth but you know if you haven't heard about verell let's talk about that really quick uh we are a front Cloud um and it gives your teams the tools and the capabilities to develop prev ship at the

moment of inspiration now that doesn't say too much this is the picture that I like to to to give you folks to understand what we're doing right you're building a rep app you're throwing it over the fence and we're serving it for you right um which is nice right so you don't have to carry a patr necessarily and we're also generally doing a really good job because it's our job awesome and to make this a little bit more clear if you're in a and

development environment for example using GitHub and you're making poll requests then we will come and we will take your poll request and deploy it on our platform and give you a dedicated pre preview URL to give you the ability to look at your changes um and we do that every single time you commit you push and then finally when you're pushing into production um we're redeploying your site um as well now as we're doing that this is actually really important for this talk is we are looking at your application

we're analyzing it for example here we have a nexj application and we're looking what's inside of the application and then we're deploying it for example Ed mware cic aets Etc right so I put the screen here because it's actually really important for this presentation but let's skip over it really quick um another thing we do is we make a framework called nextjs it's the most popular react framework by far um gets a whole bunch of uh downloads and all the

greatest brands on the web are using it cool that's a bit for the intro let's talk about framework toin infrastructure um yeah after to I love this I love this slide all right so verer vold CTO for sale basically my colleague right um anyway verer uh gave this talk at I think GRE event and he had this slide up there primitive not friend framework now

now you know again we're talking about framework Define infrastructure so how is it related to to that slide uh you got me Vis telling you H you know it's time to actually think about Frameworks not Primitives and I'll tell you why and I'll also tell you when that might not be super appropriate but let's take a slight step back here right um and look at how we used to deploy infrastructure right so in the '90s and I definitely was around um we SSH into machines or

Worse right I was I'm definitely the FTP generation right um it was rough out there and obviously that didn't quite work so we started doing semi-automated deployments that can be anything from basically bash script to to something slightly more sophisticated right and I think that relatively naturally then evolved over to infrastructure as code where you were like formalizing how you express infrastructure and then automatically deploy it and today I'll

talk about framework defined infrastructure as a bit of an evolution and it is actually related to something slightly um different which is called infrastructure from code and I'll talk about in this talk how these are related but also different cool so why do we care about framework to infastructure it provides us pability between different Target infrastructure providers so no lock in I'll talk about that it eliminates the need to man configure infrastructure to
