Case study 3 – Netflix environment improvement

One example of the benefits of IaC can be seen in the story of how Netflix was able to improve its infrastructure using IaC tools. Before adopting IaC, Netflix had a manually managed infrastructure that was difficult to scale and prone to errors. They needed a solution that would allow them to quickly and easily spin up new resources as needed, while also ensuring consistency and reducing the risk of errors.

To address these challenges, Netflix adopted an IaC approach using the open source tool known as Chef. This allowed them to automate the provisioning of their infrastructure, ensuring that each component was configured consistently and accurately. As a result, Netflix was able to greatly improve its infrastructure’s flexibility and scalability, while also reducing the risk of errors and misconfigurations. The IaC approach also made it easier for Netflix to test and deploy new changes, reducing the time and effort required...
