Automation with Infrastructure as Code
This chapter will explore how to use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools to automate the management of the various components of the Grafana observability platform. We will focus on Ansible, Terraform, and Helm, which allow teams to manage many aspects of their systems repeatably and automatically. This chapter divides the platform into the collection and processing layer, the storage layer, and the visualization layer and will outline how to automate each of these components. This chapter will provide the technical tools to create an easy-to-manage and very scalable observability platform, and combined with the information in Chapter 11, you will be well placed to lead your organization in easily leveraging the power of observability.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Benefits of automating Grafana
- Introducing the components of observability systems
