IaC
Infrastructure as Code
Infrastructure as Code is the practice of managing and provisioning infrastructure through code, making it version controlled, automated, and scalable.
Infrastructure as code (IaC) is a method of managing and provisioning IT infrastructure through the use of code and automation. Instead of manually configuring and provisioning servers, storage, and other resources, IaC allows you to define and manage your infrastructure using code, in the same way you would manage application code. This allows for greater consistency, repeatability, and scalability, as well as easier collaboration and version control.
What's involved
How we approach Infrastructure as Code
- 01
Configuration Management Tools
These tools, such as Ansible, Puppet, and Chef, allow you to define the desired state of your infrastructure using code, and then automatically provision and configure resources to match that state.
- 02
Cloud-Specific IaC Tools
Many cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, offer their own IaC tools, such as AWS CloudFormation and Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. These tools allow you to provision and manage cloud resources using code.
- 03
Containerization
Containerization technologies, such as Docker and Kubernetes, allow you to package and deploy applications and their dependencies as containers. This allows for greater consistency and portability across different environments, and can also be managed using IaC tools.
- 04
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Providers
Platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud provide a way of provisioning resources in an automated and programmatic way, this allows you to define your infrastructure using code and provision it with just a few lines of code.
How we work Eight steps from
Eight steps from
assessment to
steady state
The same sequence on every engagement, so you always know what happens next.
- 01
Assessment
A senior engineer reviews your infrastructure, pipelines, cloud spend and security posture.
- 02
Plan
Findings become a written plan — risks, waste and quick wins, in plain English.
- 03
Prioritize
We agree what gets fixed first, based on impact rather than what is easiest to start.
- 04
Execution
Pipelines, infrastructure as code, monitoring and hardening land while your team keeps shipping.
- 05
Test
Every change is validated in a real environment before it touches production.
- 06
Optimization
Right-sizing, spend governance and performance tuning once the baseline is stable.
- 07
Operate
We run it day to day — incidents, patching and releases — with a named engineer on call.
- 08
Monitor
Continuous metrics, logs and alerting, with monthly cost and performance reporting.
