Terraform Tutorial: Drift Detection Strategies

A common misconception among DevOps teams using infrastructure as code (IaC) tools is that the templates they use to run their deployments are infallible sources of truth. Instead, a fundamental challenge of architectures built using tools like Terraform is configuration drift. This occurs when the actual state of your infrastructure begins to accumulate changes and deviates from the configurations defined in your code. Configuration drift can occur for many reasons, regardless of how good your…

IaC: Azure Resource Manager Templates vs. Terraform

Infrastructure as code (IaC) is the process of configuring infrastructure through code instead of manually. A manual process requires operators and system administrators to configure any changes to the infrastructure. Using IaC, DevOps teams can store the infrastructure configuration code and application code in a centralized repository. IaC ensures consistent and more secure deployment. By avoiding error-prone manual configuration and deployment, security standards and policies are easier to maintain. And, DevOps engineers can improve scalability…
