Why do we need to consider automating architectures on Azure using IaC?

IaC is a critical component of modern infrastructure management. It enables development teams to automate the process of creating, configuring, and managing infrastructure, making it easier to deploy and manage applications and services. IaC helps organizations manage infrastructure at scale by enabling them to define infrastructure as templates that can be deployed automatically. This enables organizations to manage complex infrastructure more easily and respond to changes in demand.

Here are some additional reasons why organizations need IaC:

  • Consistency: IaC enables development teams to create and manage infrastructure in a consistent and repeatable way. By defining IaC, the code can be checked into version control systems, tested, and automatically deployed across multiple environments. This ensures consistency and reproducibility across environments, reducing the risk of errors and misconfigurations...
