Infrastructure as Code or IaC, is the scripted management of infrastructure.
Compute, Network, Storage and Software can be modelled, standardised, deployed, scaled and reproduced.
IaC enables:
- Consistency/Standardisation
- Reproduction/Repetition
- Scaling/Stability
- Documentation/Compliance/Security
Documentation as Code – When your infrastructure has been developed as code, you’ve already documented most of your infrastructure.
DR/BCP as Code – When your infrastructure is documented as code, it can more easily and quickly be reproduced and redeployed to the same provider or alternates in the event of failure.
Scaling as Code – When your infrastructure is automated as code, it can more easily be redeployed and scaled up or down in accordance with the demand of its users.
Audit & Compliance as Code – When your infrastructure is consistent and documented, it can be more easily be audited and shown to be compliant with standards.
Pipe Ten uses terraform, vault, ansible and other products to automate its environments and can help your development teams deploy Infrastructure as code for our private cloud or public clouds such as Azure.
