Infrastructure as code – What/Why/How

• Automate the provisioning and management of the technology stack

• Translate manual tasks into reusable, robust, distributable code

• Rely on practices that have been successfully used for years in software development (version control, automated testing, release tagging, continuous delivery, etc.)

• Benefits: much higher delivery speed; significant reliability boost
