In 2013, I started my journey with containers and deployment automation. I've encountered fundamental problems with infrastructure code: configuration sprawl, brittle scripts, complex state management, and deployments that fail silently in production, years of nightmares trying to solve it the wrong way.

Thanks to Rust. Now I finally sleep well.

This talk shares how.

Learn from decades of infrastructure experience:

• The evolution of infrastructure challenges (2013-2025)

• Why traditional approaches to IaC fall short at scale

• Type safety and memory safety as production reliability

• Building safe orchestration across multi-cloud and on-prem environments

• Real applications: Kubernetes, blockchain validators, disaster recovery

We'll explore concrete examples of what went wrong, why it went wrong, and how the Rust ecosystem can help solve infrastructure problems at scale.

For infrastructure engineers, SREs, platform teams, and Rust developers who've felt the pain of configuration drift, failed deployments, and infrastructure code that simply doesn't scale safely.

Suitable for: All experience levels. No advanced Rust knowledge required, this is about infrastructure problems and how Rust can help solve them.
