It will enable us to deliver consistent, efficient and highly repeating business outcomes at the lowest possible cost, with the maximum availability and security, while also allowing our people to expand into new and higher value-add roles across business.If you’re involved with managing applications and infrastructure, chances are you’re already relying on declarative and code-driven management of your deployment and configuration.
The combination of the rapid pace of change and the highly decentralized adoption of the cloud has brought us to a tipping point.
In the post-cloud era, it is common to see a three-to-four-order of magnitude increase in the pace of change in equivalent business systems.
Infrastructure teams: Enablers of service platforms As organizations adopt DevOps visions, the role of the infrastructure team is to become a service provider for the internal teams. It is a tool for building, changing, and managing infrastructure in a safe, repeatable way. Terraform also has a vibrant community extending the platform further.As IaC (or its modern avatar GitOps) becomes a norm in enterprises, the attention is being shifted from the programmatic provisioning of infrastructure to ensuring compliance to the organization’s policies in a programmatic way. In Continuous Delivery, the same practices, automated workflows, and controls that are used to build and deliver secure code are used to secure the infrastructure: Managing configuration as code (checking code into version control, ensuring that it is reviewed, scanning it for common mistakes) Frameworks like Terraform, Ansible and Chef have fulfilled the promise of infrastructure as code: the ability to rapidly provision, deploy, and configure resources and systems in the cloud.

The company fights complexity […] “Then, second thing is that you should think about security from the code to cloud because as we know, people are using infrastructure automation tools, such as Terraform, Ansible, and [others.] In the pre-cloud era, these feedback loops were so slow they were often not noticed.
Governance as code means up-leveling your approach to IT and declaring the state you want your application and/or infrastructure to operate to via code. Infrastructure as Code: The practice of treating the content that defines your environments, everything from Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates) to Azure Policy definitions to Azure Blueprints, as source code. Too often, we are falling back on our people as a safety net.Consider a future in which smart software actually Governance as code means incredible gains from an efficiency and innovation standpoint. Bruno Halley Schaefer, software engineer, Nubank Hugo Carvalho, senior solutions architect, AWS Marcelo Nunes, senior technical account manager, AWS Enterprise Support Team Nubank, a Brazilian company that is one of the world’s largest independent digital banks, is innovatively transforming Latin America’s financial landscape by providing transparent, simple, and efficient services. And if you remove a resource from the template it will be cleaned up and removed from your AWS account.
But today, the intervals are trending towards real-time and testing the limits of our ability to keep pace.

Should we all just call it quits? Governance as code is the next frontier they are trying to target as multi-cloud adoption increase and enterprises demand a more seamless way to automatically ensure governance compliance without adding any friction for developers. For example the following YAML template snippet describes an AWS ECS service resource to create:AWS CloudFormation takes this template and then assumes the responsibility of creating, updating, and deleting resources on your AWS account according to what is described in the template.
With governance as code, IT teams can define and automate best practice policies that manage all aspects of services, applications and infrastructure across cost, availability, security, performance and usage.While governance as code is all about smart software, executing a successful initiative requires putting an enterprise-wide strategy in place and a substantial cross-organizational investment. You can author it with any code editor, check it into a version control system, and review the files with team members before deploying into production.
