Infrastructure as Code (IaC) on aperta.cloud

Automated Provisioning: Automatically create and manage cloud resources with predefined templates that ensure quick and repeatable deployments.

Version Control: Keep track of changes to your infrastructure in the same way as you do with your application source code. This allows you to roll back to previous versions effortlessly if needed.

Consistency and Standardization: Eliminate environment drift and discrepancies between development and production environments. IaC ensures that the same configuration is used every time, reducing deployment failures caused by configuration differences.

Scalability: Easily scale up or scale down your infrastructure to meet demand by adjusting the code that defines your environment configurations.

Security and Compliance: Embed security settings directly into the code that configures your infrastructure, ensuring compliance with company policies and regulatory standards from the start of deployment.

Speed and Efficiency: Reduce the time and effort required to set up and manage environments, allowing your teams to focus more on development and less on operational challenges.

Cost Reduction: Minimize waste with precise control over your resource usage, ensuring that you only pay for the resources you actually need and use.

Risk Mitigation: Reduce human error and enhance security through automated checks and processes that enforce compliance and governance standards across your entire infrastructure.

Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): Integrate IaC with aperta.cloud's CI/CD pipelines to automate the deployment of both applications and their required infrastructure, or bring your own pipeline to customize the deployment process according to your existing tools and workflows. This flexibility ensures that you can leverage the full power of IaC no matter how your delivery pipeline is structured.

Monitoring and Management: Utilize aperta.cloud's monitoring tools to keep track of the health and performance of infrastructure deployed through IaC, enabling proactive management and maintenance.

Security Services: Combine IaC with aperta.cloud’s security frameworks to automatically apply security patches, configure firewalls, and set up intrusion detection systems as part of the deployment process.

Terraform Support: Harness the power of Terraform within the aperta.cloud IaC offerings to provision and manage your infrastructure. Terraform is an industry-leading open-source tool that allows you to define both low-level components such as compute instances, storage, and networking, as well as high-level components including DNS entries, SaaS features, etc. Using Terraform on aperta.cloud enables you to apply the same templates across different environments, reducing errors and ensuring consistency across your deployments. This integration supports the creation of reproducible environments, making it easier to manage infrastructure changes with confidence and transparency.

Multi-environment Management: Manage multiple deployment environments (development, testing, production) using the same scripts, ensuring that each environment is provisioned identically.

Disaster Recovery: Quickly replicate your infrastructure to recover from failures, ensuring business continuity with minimal downtime.

Hybrid Cloud Management: Manage and synchronize infrastructure across multiple cloud platforms, providing flexibility and optimizing resources across your hybrid cloud environment.
