Deep dives
Understanding Infrastructure as Code
Infrastructure as code (IaC) simplifies the process of provisioning cloud resources by allowing developers to define their desired infrastructure state in a centralized manner. Previously, infrastructure provisioning involved manual configurations and scripting, which often led to inconsistencies and challenges in managing changes. IaC tools, such as CloudFormation and Terraform, enable developers to use declarative languages like JSON or YAML to clearly define and track infrastructure changes. This approach transforms the way developers interact with infrastructure, moving from manual processes to automated deployments that ensure infrastructure is consistently managed.
