Hi guys! I have just started my first job as a DevOps after being graduated. My boss wants to implement IaC for all our projects. I am the only one working on it, but its a huge task so I’m honored. However, I have plenty other tasks on a daily basis and have also other technologies to learn fro…

Welcome to the community, glad to have you here. What kind of projects, applications, and infrastructure do you plan on building with your IaC automation? That will make a big different about where to get started, what topics to recommend, and how to get your hands dirty.
