Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of managing and provisioning IT infrastructure using code instead of manual processes. 

It treats infrastructure like software, defining it in machine-readable definition files. This allows for automation, consistency, and version control of infrastructure deployments, similar to how software is developed.

In data engineering, in Declarative Data Stack are embracing that philosophy. In DevOps world, mostly we use YAML to define Kubernetes deployments.

• Terraform
• Kustomize
• Helm and Helm Charts
• Dockerfile

These are tools to create GitOps workflows:

• ArgoCD
• Flux
• Pulumi?
• Octupus (closed-source)
• Koreo - Quite new that YAML Engineer
