.NET: Infrastructure as Software

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

Argues that using real languages for infrastructure yields type checks, testing and reusable APIs and demonstrates this with Pulumi (TypeScript) talking to AWS: creates S3, builds a class that launches 50 EC2 instances, and refactors easily. Shows unit tests in 7ms using Pulumi mocks so tests run without cloud credentials. Uses crosswalk VPC (31 resources -> 17 when simplified) to generate subnets, routes and gateways and deploys lambdas and API Gateway successfully.
