SUMMARY:Minnesota HashiCorp User Group
DESCRIPTION:THE CLOUD OPERATING MODEL\, SERVICE MESH\, & CONSUL\nJoin us for a special conversation around cloud enablement in conjunction with Optum on Thursday\, April 25 at 4:30pm. \nOrganizations have a variety of options when it comes to choosing the infrastructure that runs their applications— cloud\, private infrastructure\, and third-party services. Embracing cloud and multi-cloud requires organizations to rethink their approach to provisioning\, securing\, and connecting their infrastructure. Static data relies on static fleet of standardized infrastructure\, provisioned for long periods of time\, and dedicated to users. Dynamic infrastructure now consists of heterogeneous infrastructure\, frequently provisioned\, short lived\, and automated provisioning on-demand. Learn how Consul enables one workflow to connect any application across any infrastructure. \nWe look forward to seeing you.
