π Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Software You Should Know About π
So, you've built the app and it works on your machine; but, how do we get it launched out on the internet?
That's where Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is comes into play.
This stuff can get complicated fast.
You have to make changes in production quickly, but, we are professionals...
One does not simply `ssh` into a server to configure it.
No, professionals use tools like bash scripts or DSL-driven tools like ansible, terraform, or cloudformation.
π‘If you want to keep it simple, you can just use cloud-init, ansible, and your cloud provider's CLI to provision servers.
That being said, we've gotta keep the hype alive; so, hereβs a list of must-know IaC tools for going into 2025:
β³ Ansible
Great for configuration management and automating infrastructure tasks.
β³ AWS CDK
If you love coding infrastructure in your favorite programming language.
β³ AWS CloudFormation
The OG of AWS-native IaC tools
β³ Cloud-Init
For bootstrapping your server instances using your choice of IaC tool, ensuring software, services, and environment configuration come up on first boot.
β³ OpenTofu
Open-source Terraform alternative to keep an eye on.
β³ Pulumi
Code-first approach for multi-cloud infrastructure.
β³ SST (Serverless Stack)
A rising star for serverless development.
β³ Terraform
The powerhouse for declarative multi-cloud IaC.
β³ Wing
A fresh approach to coding cloud apps with infrastructure baked in.
