Provisioning and managing infrastructure with IaC
IaC takes the SDI approach to the next level by managing IT infrastructure using code instead of manual processes or interactive configuration tools. With IaC, you can design, build, deploy, and manage the hybrid cloud infrastructure as code. The desired infrastructure specifications are defined in a configuration file, which is stored in a version control system. This specification is then implemented by an orchestrator, who provisions the desired resource. IaC enables operations teams to automate the provisioning and management of the infrastructure rather than configuring it manually.
Operations teams face significant challenges when managing various hybrid cloud environments – for example, Kubernetes clusters spread across different cloud providers. They also need to frequently deploy code changes (many times per day) and scale these deployments dynamically. In order to keep costs down and services up, computing resources...
