Coding Secure Infrastructure in the Cloud using the PIE framework

by James Wickett and Peco Karayanev

PIE (Programmable Infrastructure Environment) is the open source cloud system management project released in the fall of 2011 that has changed how engineers build systems and manage security in the cloud. In DevOps fashion, PIE is focused on coding infrastructure that blends the lines between applications and servers.

The PIE project began when we built our very large scale cloud-based products and we focused on building a rugged, highly available system that would run resiliently in the face of failures. We knew we had to treat our "Infrastructure as Code" and from that theory PIE was born. Along the way we have learned how hard that can be. Come here how to use PIE to shape your cloud deployment and secure your infrastructure.

This presentation will feature the main developer of PIE, Peco Karayanev, who will give insight into how to transform your infrastructure using PIE.
