Talk: Understanding the Data Lookup Pattern

In February 2018 I had the pleasure of attending Config Management Camp 2018 to give a talk alongside Jan Ivar Beddari (@beddari). For this talk I drew on some of the topics discussed in my previous post Understanding Hierarchical Lookups and then introduce Jerakia as a generic tool to provide hierarchical data lookups across various infrastructure tooling. This is followed by Jan giving an awesome demo of Jerakia in action integrating it with Packer and Ansible.
