Infrastructure as Code: A Comprehensive Guide to Managing Infrastructure as Code (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781688449510)

This book attempts to explore all you need to know regarding Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). It will assist you in making informed decisions, if you have plans to implement IaC.

As part of the DevOps practices, IaC offers the ability to manage, configure, and create complex infrastructures by means of executable code. When adopting IaC, the infrastructure is managed by defining the preferred state of the infrastructure in source files, and using a tool to help facilitate that. The source files consist of templates, policy definitions, configuration, code, and other related assets.

A better infrastructure delivery can help improve the important aspects of software delivery performance that drive business outcomes. These include time to restore service, change failure rate, lead time for changes, and deployment frequency.

What You'll Learn:

• Understand how IaC works.
• Explore tools and services for updating running servers, building server templates, and provisioning servers.
• Learn about immutable infrastructure and the tools needed to implement it.
• Comprehend how to make an object reproducible.
• Discover the best practices for managing a dynamic infrastructure.
• And lots more...
