Automation alone will not save you. We’ll describe the five dragons that cause modernization efforts to fail even when you hire excellent people and buy the best tools. We’ll show how building systems that are (1) reusable with (2) strong abstractions delivered with (3) Infrastructure as Code pipelines allows you to create robust (4) processes that boost cross-team (5) collaboration. We’ll talk about pragmatic actions that you can take to empower your teams to build automation and infrastructure that accelerate your business.

Are we getting closer to making infrastructure as code into an engineering practice? Why is this so hard and whats holding us back?
