Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Infrastructure as Code allows us to manage and provision computing infrastructure through machine-readable scripts, ensuring automation, scalability, and repeatability.

• Tools: Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager (ARM), Google Cloud Deployment Manager
• Best Practices: Version control with Git, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, modular code for reusability

Benefits of IaC

• Consistency: Ensures environments are configured exactly the same way every time.
• Speed: Speeds up the process of setting up and deploying environments.
• Documentation: Provides clear, executable documentation of infrastructure setups.

Case Study: Automated Deployment for a SaaS Company

We implemented Terraform and AWS CloudFormation for a SaaS company, automating the deployment of their environments. This reduced their setup time from days to hours and ensured consistency across their development, staging, and production environments.
