Provisioning Infrastructure with IaC
In the previous chapters, you learned about containers and VMs, the building blocks of hybrid cloud infrastructure. This chapter will show you how to use the hybrid cloud by explaining the methodologies needed to provision and operate a hybrid cloud infrastructure. We’ll look at the evolution of infrastructure provisioning over the years, from ticket-based request systems to software-defined, automated, self-service systems – this transformation from purpose-built systems configured by operations specialists to software-abstracted systems that follow agile software development methodologies. We’ll also explore the tools you can use to configure and deploy the infrastructure and needed services.
This chapter will cover the following topics:
- Infrastructure provisioning overview
- Virtualizing hardware with Software-Defined Infrastructure (SDI)
- Provisioning and managing infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code...
