Infrastructure as code (IAC)

Infrastructure as code (IAC) is a method of provisioning and managing IT infrastructure through the use of software, rather than manual configuration. This is typically done using scripts or configuration files that can be version controlled, reviewed, and audited, making the process more efficient, repeatable, and less error-prone. Common tools used for IAC include Ansible, Terraform, and CloudFormation.

How do we implement IAC for you :

• We identify the infrastructure that needs to be managed: This includes identifying the different components of your infrastructure such as servers, storage, networks, and databases.
• Start Writing your infrastructure as code with the chosen IAC tool. This typically involves creating scripts or configuration files that describe your infrastructure components and how they should be configured.
• Version control your IAC files: Save your IAC files to a version control system such as Git. This will allow you to track changes, roll back to previous versions and collaborate with others.
• Test and deploy your IAC: Once we tested your IAC files to ensure they correctly configure your infrastructure and it meet your needs, we will deploy it to your production environment.
• Continuously monitor and improve: Continuously monitor your infrastructure and use the information gathered to improve your IAC scripts and make them more efficient.

It's important to note that IAC is not a one-time task, it's a continuous process that requires ongoing maintenance and attention.
