Synopsis

Use the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach to automate, test, and streamline infrastructure for mission-critical applications.

In Essential Infrastructure as Code youwill learn how to:

• Optimize infrastructure for modularity and isolate dependencies
• Test infrastructure configuration
• Mitigate, troubleshoot, and isolate failed infrastructure changes
• Collaborate across teams on infrastructure development
• Update infrastructure with minimal downtime using blue-green deployments
• Scale infrastructure systems supporting multiple business units
• Use patterns for provisioning tools, configuration management, and image building
• Deliver secure infrastructure configuration to production

Essential Infrastructure as Code teaches you how to automate software infrastructure by capturing your desired configurations as a set of scripts.You''ll learn how to create, test, and deploy infrastructure components in a way that''s easy to scale and share across an entire organization. While the patterns and techniques are tool agnostic, you''ll appreciate the easy-to-follow examples in Python and Terraform. A system administrator or infrastructure engineer will learn essential software development practices for managing IaC, while developers will benefit from in-depth coverage of assembling and monitoring infrastructure as part of DevOps culture.
