Talk comments
A well prepared, well structured, and well presented tutorial.
The only suggestion for improvement I can make is to try to keep the pacing more even. We covered a lot of material so there was almost inevitably a bit of rush at the end to cover the rest of the material in the allotted time. I fell a little behind in the last half hour or so as the pace, and the number of files we were dealing with increased.
Overall an excellent introduction to Terraform and Ansible, with lots of well-prepared take-home material. I enjoyed the tutorial and learned a lot.
Very good introduction talk for microservices!
Interested and nice talk
Good tips and very well presented!
Good talk, entertaining and very well presented!
Good talk!
Decent overview of the different solutions.
Overall I thought the content was good, and I did mostly enjoy the delivery of the second half; but for me the whole turning up late, and clearly still being impaired by drinking the night before, isn't really what I'd expect to see out of a conference talk – this for me made the first half of the talk cringeworthy.
Very well presented talk with great visuals and a very encouraging message.
I wonder if trying to fit a bit less content from the book in, with a bit more time on practical application, might have landed the link with communities better, but still, a great talk.
As mentioned in the other comments, sending out an email so we could prepare dependencies ahead of time would have been a good idea, as that would have avoided at least some of the running around solving people's problems during the session. The waiting delayed progress through the material and we didn't manage to cover all of it.
But overall a good introduction to Behat and I enjoyed the tutorial.
