Deploying Modern Workloads on Azure 1-day Workshop

Insight’s Digital Innovation team has deep expertise with GitHub, Terraform and Azure. Take advantage of this expertise as we guide you through the structure of an Azure landing zone, and show you how to write Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in Terraform, manage code in GitHub and execute deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions.

This workshop provides hands-on experience with GitHub, Terraform and Azure, applying industry best practices and addressing questions and roadblocks along the way.
