From IaC to InfraOps - Automating Day-2 Operations with Terraform Actions and Ansible

Learn how to transform Terraform from a simple provisioning tool into a comprehensive operational control plane for Day-2 operations in this 37-minute conference talk from DevConf.IN 2026. Discover how to move beyond traditional Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approaches that only handle Day-0 provisioning, and explore advanced techniques for automating ongoing operational tasks including patching, configuration changes, drift remediation, and incident response. Explore the integration of Terraform Actions with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) to create unified workflows that combine infrastructure state management with configuration and remediation automation. Master the implementation of Event-Driven Ansible (EDA) through the new Terraform action for AAP, enabling single terraform apply commands to trigger dynamic automation across Red Hat environments. Understand how to establish repeatable, policy-driven models for Day-2 operations that reduce operational friction, eliminate ad-hoc access requirements, and improve system reliability at enterprise scale. Gain insights into creating governed workflows that unify provisioning and operations, moving from fragmented manual processes to streamlined automation suitable for developers, architects, DevOps engineers, security professionals, and site reliability engineers.
