Ever wonder why strong Terraform modules still lead to long review queues and fragile pipelines? From hand-built scripts and early data center migrations to cloud sprawl and Kubernetes, configuration management has changed a lot - but the core struggle remains: too many decisions, not enough guardrails. Guest host Kelsey Hightower sits down with Cory O’Daniel to unpack where Infrastructure as Code succeeds and where teams get stuck.

What you’ll learn:
How to avoid “choice overload” in cloud configs by moving decisions upstream
Practical ways to pair IaC with UX, policies, and SLAs to reduce toil
When click-ops is a symptom, not the problem - and how to replace it safely
Patterns for scaling platform practices beyond a handful of experts
A simple mental model for mapping workflows across serverless, containers, and VMs
