The entire IT world keeps evolving very fast. We moved "slowly" from our traditional vision of the IT to "everything as a service", and now we are talking about "everything as code". How to understand this new concept and assemble the pieces of this new cloud ecosystem? How Cloud Computing brings to Africa the opportunity to strengthen and improve its infrastructure?
