FASTER SPEED AND CONSISTENCY
The goal of IaC is to make things faster by elimina ng manual processes and
elimina ng the slack in the process. A code-based approach makes it easier
to get more done in less me. No need to wait on the IT admin to manually
complete the task at hand before he can get to the next one. This also means
that you can iterate quickly and more o en. Consistency is another vital
benefit of IaC. You do not need to worry about tasks not being completed
because it is a weekend or because your admin is focused on something else.
EFFICIENT SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
LIFECYCLE
IaC shi s the power into the developer's hands. As the infrastructure
provisioning becomes more reliable and consistent, developers can start
focusing on applica on development more. Also, they can script once and use
that code mul ple mes, thus, saving me and effort while keeping
complete control.
REDUCED MANAGEMENT OVERHEAD
In a data center world there was a need to have admins to govern and manage
storage, networking, compute and other layers of hardware and middleware.
IaC eliminates a need for these mul ple roles. Those admins can now focus on
iden fying the next exci ng technology they want to implement.
Developers love the power of Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and
management. However, IT opera ons do not get complete visibility and
some mes lose track of resource usage crea ng management issues. Some
organiza ons feel Terraform is very developer-focused with a steep learning
curve and does not provide the necessary levers to control resources be er.
