Applying DevOps principles to multi-cloud environments

Although multi-cloud environments have become the standard for IT organisations across the board, they are not without their challenges, and it can be difficult for enterprise app developers and other IT professionals to get their heads around them.

This is because a single multi-cloud deployment could rely on hundreds of remote application and infrastructure elements, all of which may employ a slew of different interfaces and orchestrations, executing in a wide variety of clouds with varying levels of interoperability.

HashiCorp Terraform is a DevOps tool that was designed to overcome these challenges, but using it without applying the necessary DevOps principles can result in unexpected costs to the enterprise — should a DevOps process be linked to a buggy application process that fails, the business can end up with some hair-raising bills.

To unpack this further, Obsidian Systems and HashiCorp, in partnership with ITWeb, will be hosting a webinar on 12 April entitled “Multi-cloud automation: Terraform-fups highlighting important DevOps principles”, to reveal the thrills and spills occurring in real-life DevOps, as well as how to avoid making the same costly mistakes.

During this session, Calwyn Baldwin, automation team lead at Obsidian Systems, will present on “Drama and nightmares from the world of DevOps”, followed by “Best practice and the HashiCorp solution”, to be presented by Justin Olivier, enterprise account manager at HashiCorp. Additionally, Baldwin will discuss the Obsidian Systems value proposition.

Delegates will learn how the HashiCorp software suite enables organisations to adopt consistent workflows to provision, secure, connect, and run any infrastructure for any application.

Finally delegates will have the opportunity to share their insights on data centre modernisation with c-level executives from some of South Africa’s leading organisations, and will learn how to avoid making the same mistakes, with Obsidian Systems & HashiCorp.
