Managing Infrastructure as Text
Setting up servers manually in the AWS or Google Cloud web consoles is slow, error-prone, and impossible to audit. Modern cloud engineering uses Infrastructure as Code (IaC). We write configuration files defining our infrastructure, and let a tool compile and provision the physical state.
GitOps Pipeline: Infrastructure changes are submitted via Pull Requests. Once approved and merged, CI/CD runners apply changes (e.g.
terraform apply) automatically.
