Infrastructure as Code, Patterns and Practices: With examples in Python and Terraform

Essential Infrastructure as Code teaches patterns for scaling systems and supporting infrastructure for mission-critical applications. The book is fullof flexible automation techniques and universal principles that are easy toapply to almost any use case, from data centers, to public cloud, to software-as-a-Service.  The book is full of techniques that work whether you''re managing your personal projects or making live network changes across a large enterprise.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) replaces time-consuming manual provisioning and configuration with automation via configuration managers or provisioning tools like Hashicorp Terraform. Managing your infrastructure as code makes it easy to test changes and implement new features, scale systems without downtime or operational toil, and rapidly roll back mistakes.

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.
