Understanding the data lookup pattern
Jan Ivar Beddari, Craig Dunn
Imagine this:As a service operator, I want to reduce my cognitive load as much as possible by being able to express configuration data across all tooling, so that any common variable is defined once, in a single source of truth.
In this talk we'll show and discuss Jerakia as an implementation of a hierarchical data lookup strategy that can be used and integrated across all your management tools. Using real-life examples of simple data-lookup clients integrating Ansible, Terraform and Kubernetes with disparate infrastructure services, we'll show why organizing data this way makes sense for infrastructure. Come join us to learn how to think about data separation in a coherent way!About the Speakers
