Introducing infrastructure automation with Terraform and Flux CD

In today’s rapidly evolving cloud computing landscape, the demand for agility, scalability, and reliability in managing infrastructure is paramount. Traditional manual approaches are no longer sufficient for modern applications. Enter IaC and GitOps, reshaping infrastructure management in cloud-native environments. Manual work remains crucial for platform engineers, such as understanding cloud resources to write effective Terraform scripts, and is often the first step before updating the Terraform Git repository. Leverage the GitOps framework to address cloud-native delivery challenges such as preventing configuration drifts and ensuring secure, error-free deployments. Implementing GitOps on Kubernetes introduces challenges, including managing complex configurations and maintaining synchronization between the Git repository and clusters. IaC is a methodology that treats infrastructure provisioning, configuration...
