Cfgmgmtcamp

During FOSDEM of 2024, mere days before the kick-off of CfgMgmtCamp 2024 in Ghent, Apple released a language named Pkl as Apache 2.0 open source.

As a heavy user of Pkl’s Apple-internal progenitor for four years at that point, I was well placed to give the first ever public talk about it, by the gracious request of the organizers - and there was no audience more suited than CfgMgmtCamp for an introduction to such a release!

At CfgMgmtCamp 2020, I gave a talk entitled “Terraform Without The Mess”, in which we looked at how the history of features in Terraform affect the way we structure and write our Terraform configuration today, and make opinionated recommendations about how to structure modern Terraform code in a way which makes changes simple, predictable and safe.
