This hands-on workshop series offers practical guidance to help you: - **Design and build a strong foundation** with strategic planning, reusable infrastructure components, and templates that enable developer self-service. - **Secure and govern your platform** using policy as code and automated drift remediation. - **Scale and expand your IDP to meet advanced needs** by supporting AI workloads and integrating existing IaC tools. The course starts on July 30 and is structured into three (3) modules, each with hands-on, expert-led workshops designed to help you build a production-ready IDP using Pulumi. All sessions include live demos, code examples, and implementation guides you can apply in your own organization. ## The Three Modules --- ## 01 - Module: Design & Build #### Workshops 1. **IDP Strategy: Planning Self-Service Infrastructure** (July 30) 2. **Golden Paths: Infrastructure Components and Templates** (August 6) #### What you will learn - Develop an IDP strategy that balances developer autonomy with operational control. - Identify success metrics, organizational readiness, and architectural requirements. - Design and implement reusable Pulumi components for core infrastructure needs. - Create golden path templates that streamline developer workflows and enforce consistency.
