Course Overview

Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in cloud infrastructure as code whether or not anyone says so. The documentation for as code is accurate only until the next release. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the technology and systems delivery discipline rather than to abstract argument. The difficulty is not agreeing that cloud infrastructure as code matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Applied research in technology and systems delivery consistently shows that early structure around the practice within technology and systems delivery reduces downstream rework. Participants finish able to explain as code to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The programme converts cloud infrastructure as code from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for as code. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the technology and systems delivery capability that participants can repeat annually.

  • Identify the single points of failure in as code.
  • Check that records of cloud infrastructure as code answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Confirm that reporting on as code reaches the people who can act.

Session 2Documenting as code so someone else can operate it

  • Set out the decisions in cloud infrastructure as code that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Inventory third-party dependencies inside as code and their update status.

03

As code: requirements, targets and service levels

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The hard cases in as code and how to reason about them

  • Benchmark the organisation's cloud infrastructure as code against comparable operations.
  • Run a load test on as code at expected peak plus a margin.

Session 2Sizing capacity for cloud infrastructure as code on measured growth

  • Check that cloud infrastructure as code still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Confirm every release of as code can be rolled back within a defined time.
  • Plan the decommissioning of the legacy component cloud infrastructure as code replaces.
  • Record the technical debt in as code and schedule repayment.
04

As code: incident response and severity

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Who answers for as code, and to whom

  • Close out actions on cloud infrastructure as code rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
  • Define incident severity levels for as code and the response each triggers.

  • Confirm data retention and deletion rules applied within as code.

Session 2Setting availability and recovery targets for as code honestly

  • Map the handovers in cloud infrastructure as code between functions and secure them.
  • Draft the minimum viable technical standard for as code.
  • Compare the cost of cloud infrastructure as code with the cost of its absence.
  • Collect evidence on the present handling of as code before proposing changes.
