Trust but Verify with your Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

When looking at your cloud estate through an operational, security or delivery lens, IaC is the foundation you build on. Manual changes are operationally risky, it is borderline impossible to apply preventive guardrails to them, and it’s an amazing way to create snowflake environments that have unique quirks. Only through high levels of IaC adoption and proficiency, do you unlock the ability to truly leverage what the cloud offers. I’ve seen ClickOps erode AWS organisations across many clients, lengthening feedback cycles and resulting in vastly lower quality outcomes. For certain levels of maturity, ClickOps is inevitable during incidents, but the quick fixes, if not brought back under management, quickly corrode your infrastructure. <a href="https://medium.com/@josh.armitage/trust-but-verify-with-your-infrastructure-as-code-iac-8ebb17e80129">Learn More</a>
