This workshop will teach attendees the basics of DevOps and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in a fun gamified way that combines learning DevOps fundamentals with making "line go up". Attendees will gain hands-on expertise with both AWS and HashiCorp Terraform in a free, safe, and sand-boxed environment. Bring your laptop and a web browser (no additional tools are needed to get started) and leave with tips and tricks that you can immediately apply to your own workflows.
