AWS Student Community Day 2025 - IaC -Platform Eng -AI.pptx

Explore how modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Platform Engineering are empowering organizations to build, manage, and deliver cloud solutions at scale. This session takes you behind the scenes of today’s AWS workflows, showcasing the present and future of scalable infrastructure delivery through the lens of platform engineering.
Dive into best practices and innovations that leverage custom tools, AI-driven enhancements, and the synergy of ArgoCD, Open Tofu, Amazon EKS, Amazon Q, and the bespoke Thoth Framework. Discover how platform engineering creates self-service environments and automated pipelines that streamline development, boost productivity, and ensure consistency across your cloud infrastructure.
Join us to learn how these powerful technologies and strategies come together to automate, optimize, and elevate your cloud journey. Whether you’re an engineer, architect, platform owner, or tech enthusiast, this talk will inspire you to harness new IaC and platform engineering capabilities for transformative results.

8. Foundations of Infrastructure as Code and Platform Engineering Infrastructure as Code- Infrastructure as Code automates provisioning using code to ensure repeatability and system reliability. Platform Engineering - Platform engineering builds self-service internal platforms to simplify developer workflows and infrastructure management. GitOps  is a modern approach to managing cloud infrastructure and applications using Git as the single source of truth. It involves using Git repositories to store the desired state of the system, which is then automatically synchronized with the actual state of the system through continuous deployment tools.
