 Infrastructure as Code for SharePoint 2013 PowerPoint Presentation

Outline of the session:
Creating automated farm builds is key to having a stable SharePoint on-prem. service. This session looks at how and why automating infrastructure, SharePoint 2013 builds and assets is a good idea. The session is heavily focused on Infrastructure as Code (IaC). I look at building a large on premise SP2013 stretched farm on stable repeatable infrastructure that includes SSRS, WCA/OWA and Blob storage.

This is a technical overview for IT pro’s & architects, throwing in best practices for looking at large SharePoint 2013 deployments. Concepts such as devops and Continuous Delivery (CD) are examined. PowerShell is extensively used with several takeaways provided to jumpstart SharePoint 2013 service creation via IaC.
