Thank you everybody for coming and thank you to the organization for having us. We are going to talk about infrastructure code specifically when it meets reality. But as this is a talk that comes from our personal experience first we need to give you some context about us. So Okay. Okay, this is us. We work in a small team between two and four people with different environment like really different. We had like dozens of development teams different tech stacks different time zones even like 10 hour of difference, different cultures like very diverse. And we work in a very compliance heavy environment subject to HIPAA, PCI, socks like Pokemon like catch them all. And we were embracing infra as code. Okay. But first let's introduce ourselves. I'm Andoni. I work as cloud security engineer at …
