Description

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a practice that involves the use of code and automation tools to manage, provision, and deploy infrastructure resources, such as servers, networking components, and storage. The goal of IaC is to make the process of managing infrastructure more efficient and reliable, by allowing teams to use code to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure resources, as well as to enforce policies and standards for those resources. This approach can help organizations to reduce the amount of manual work involved in managing infrastructure, and to ensure that infrastructure is consistently configured and maintained across different environments. It also makes it easier to roll back changes and recover from failures, since the infrastructure is defined and managed using code that can be versioned and easily reproduced.

The content in this learning path will teach you the principles of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to a Level 2.

Learning Objectives

  • Learn about Infrastructure-as-Code and the associated technologies used to codify infrastructure
  • Learn the theory and motivations as to why Infrastructure as Code (IaC) as a discipline is important

  • Learn about AWS CloudFormation and how it can be used to codify and create AWS infrastructure
  • Learn about Azure ARM templates and how they can be used to codify and create Azure infrastructure
  • Learn about GCP Deployment Manager templates and how they can be used to codify GCP infrastructure
