IAC is such an important concept for advancing your IT maturity, this really is a practical episode and if these concepts are new to you, research these further as its something that will put you in good step in your IT career. In this episode we took a journey around IAC and Configuration Management and talked about some of the core concepts and hopefully demystified many of the topics for you. We answered the question why IAC, spoke about elasticity with IAC being key here before pivoting and discussing the differences between IAC vs. Configuration Management. We then spoke about AWS’s offerings and talked through CloudFormaton, CDK, SAM, CDK TF, CDK8s for Kubernetes and the Opsworks family Before talking through offerings in the market and most importantly how you can get started.
