Microsoft Reactor

Hello Internet, I'm Sam Wronski and this November I'd like to invite you to join me in exploring what we can build with C# and .NET. In this series we'll be live coding a collection of projects that allow us to learn more about building Websites and Services with ASP.NET and C#. If you're interested in learning more about how to build cloud native service or just want to learn more about building with C# and .NET this series should help introduce you to the language as we learn together!

Check out the full series and past session recordings here: Cloud App with .NET Series

Part 5
There are a number of ways you can configure the infrastructure that supports your cloud apps. In this episode we’re going to explore a couple of different options available to us and try to create a way to reproduce our apps infrastructure easily. By creating a configurable and reproducible infrastructure setup we have a declared state that we expect for our infrastructure. This means that new members of your team can see how your apps infrastructure is configured and also gives guidance for what resources are required by the app and how to create them. With this we can create an entirely new stack or destroy an existing one as the app is needed meaning we can easily create new environments for testing or staging our app before production or migrate all or part of the application more easily. This configuration can also help make the architecture and dependencies of our application more explicit, allowing other teams or members of our own team to see the infrastructure we rely on or control.
