From Infrastructure as Code to Environment as Code - DevOps Days Buffalo

Implementing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate the provisioning of Environments, becomes challenging as you scale. We will introduce Environment as Code that enables teams to provision & teardown entire Environments in an efficient way and promotes best practices.

  1. From Infrastructure as Code to Environment as Code Challenges scaling

    IaC and how to resolve them Adarsh Sha h Engineering Leader, Coach, Public Speake r Founder & CEO at CompuZes t @shahadarsh

  2. https://bit.ly/eac-buffalo @shahadarsh Infrastructure as Code Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is

    an approach that takes proven coding techniques used by software systems and extends it to infrastructure. It is one of the key DevOps practices that enable teams to deliver infrastructure, and thereby software running on it, rapidly and reliably.
  3. https://bit.ly/eac-buffalo @shahadarsh Evolution of IaC Setup networkin g + platform-ec

  4. https://bit.ly/eac-buffalo @shahadarsh • Option 1 • Create a Monolith Ia

    C • Option 2 • Hand-roll Pipelines • Manage Complex Dependencies Options for Entire Environment Provisioning
  5. https://bit.ly/eac-buffalo @shahadarsh Other Challenges scaling IaC Replicating Environments is a

    pain Not easy to visualize/understand Environments Drift Detection
  6. https://bit.ly/eac-buffalo @shahadarsh IaC vs EaC Infrastructure as Code Automates various

    Lego Pieces 
 (i.e. Infrastructure Resources) Environment as Code Automates how those Lego Pieces 
 are connected to make up a Lego Toy 
 (i.e. Entire Environment)
  7. https://bit.ly/eac-buffalo @shahadarsh Environment as Code Environment as Code (EaC) is

    an abstraction over Infrastructure as Code that provides a declarative way of de fi ning an entire Environment. It has a Control Plane that manages the state of the environment, including relationships between various resources, Detects Drift as well enables Reconciliation. It also supports best practices like Loose Coupling, Idempotency, Immutability, etc. for the entire environment. EaC allows teams to deliver entire environments rapidly and reliably, at scale.
