Save Thousands of DevOps Hours: Unleashing the Power of Self-Service

This lightning talk explores how MyHeritage revolutionized their DevOps workflow by implementing a self-service platform that empowers developers to provision cloud resources independently. Learn about their Golden Path approach that streamlines resource creation across AWS, GCP, and Azure, allowing developers to focus on coding rather than infrastructure management. Discover how pre-configured recipes with embedded organizational standards and compliance checks enable developers to use high-level code to customize Infrastructure as Code (IaC) recipes to their specific needs. The presentation demonstrates how GitOps converts this code into OpenTofu with appropriate IAM policies and configurations, ultimately eliminating delays and significantly boosting cloud productivity. This 12-minute talk from CNCF shows how self-service capabilities can save thousands of DevOps hours while maintaining organizational standards.
