Mixing Azure And Grafana In A Terraform Provider Mashup!

SPECIAL EPISODE
In my talk, "Telemetry Transformed: Terraforming Grafana for Next-Gen Dashboards," presented in person at HashiDays 2024 in Sydney, Australia, on June 12, 2024, I shared the transformative journey my team and I undertook to fully automate our infrastructure. Initially, we encountered a significant challenge: while everything on Azure was automated using Terraform, our Grafana setup required extensive manual configuration, impeding our goal of achieving a completely automated solution.
During the talk, I detailed how we discovered the Grafana Terraform provider and how it became a game-changer for us. By integrating this provider into our existing workflows, we were able to automate the entire setup and configuration of Grafana. I explained the specifics of our approach, including the steps we took to automate various aspects of Grafana, from dashboard creation to alert configurations. This newfound capability allowed us to not only streamline our processes but also ensure that our solution was balanced for long-term maintainability.
Furthermore, I discussed the unique workflow requirements of Grafana dashboard designers and how we adapted our approach to support their productivity. By aligning our automation strategies with the designers' needs, we created a robust and flexible system that could evolve with our organization's demands.
This talk aimed to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of how to leverage the Grafana Terraform provider to automate their own Grafana setups, ensuring a seamless and fully automated infrastructure solution. It was a pleasure to share our insights and experiences with such an engaged and passionate audience.
