Description
The engineering team at SPH Media discusses their journey to accelerate digital initiatives by modernizing existing applications and services. They detail how they addressed an intricate web of VPCs connected to an on-premises data center, which led to low network visibility and IP address starvation. The presentation focuses on how they leverage HCP Consul and Vault to transform service connectivity and enhance developer capabilities, enabling them to worry less about networking and focus on building applications. The talk covers securing service-to-service communication between different VPCs, even with overlapping IP address ranges, and connecting HCP Vault to RDS databases for dynamic secret generation.
