Automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Modern infrastructure without chaos or unnecessary manual work
In today’s world of rapid cloud-native development and increasing complexity of cloud environments, manual configuration is no longer sustainable. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an approach that allows you to manage cloud infrastructure just like application code – version-controlled, repeatable, and testable.
Our service combines automation and IaC into one consistent approach, giving you full control over your cloud infrastructure, saving you time and providing peace of mind.
Why managing Azure with code is essential
Without structure, standards, and code, Azure environments quickly become hard to manage:
- Each project has different networking, identity, naming, and policy settings
- It’s unclear who deployed what and why
- Any change introduces risk of downtime or security misconfiguration
Managing Azure through code (Terraform):
- ensures repeatability,
- enables fast provisioning of new environments,
- provides full documentation and auditability,
- and significantly reduces the risk of deployment errors.
What you get with our Automation & Infrastructure as Code service
- Automated infrastructure provisioning (CI/CD + IaC)
- Conversion of key environments into Terraform code
- Standardization (naming, tagging, security, policies)
- CI/CD pipeline setup in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions
- Team training and complete documentation including runbooks
- Time and resource savings of up to 60 %
When Infrastructure as Code doesn’t make sense
Infrastructure as Code isn’t a silver bullet. In some cases, implementing IaC might be unnecessarily complex or not cost-effective.
We don’t recommend IaC if:
- You operate a small and static setup (e.g., a single internal web server)
- You use simple PaaS services without complex dependencies (e.g., basic Azure Web App)
- You need to quickly test something once (PoC, hackathon, short-term sandbox)
In these situations, using the Azure portal or a lightweight script may be faster and more practical.
But – if you need repeatability, auditability, plan to scale, or are building greenfield environments → IaC is the right foundation.
FAQ
How can automation simplify the management of our cloud environment?
Automation eliminates manual errors, speeds up the deployment of changes and updates, and ensures consistency. Automated processes enable easier management and greater flexibility in dynamic environments.
What is Infrastructure as a Code and how can we implement it?
Infrastructure as a Code (IaC) is a method of managing and provisioning IT infrastructure using code, rather than manually configuring it. Using tools like Terraform, we can codify your environment, allowing you to deploy and manage your infrastructure repeatedly.
What tools do you use for automation (Terraform, PowerShell, Azure DevOps, GitHub)?
We use a combination of tools like Terraform for IaC, PowerShell for operations automation, and Azure DevOps or GitHub for CI/CD pipeline and version control. These tools enable comprehensive management and automation.
How will automation help us improve the efficiency of our IT routines?
Automation reduces deployment time, eliminates repetitive tasks, and simplifies maintenance. You reduce human error and streamline processes, freeing up your IT teams for more strategic tasks.
Can automation help with update deployment and patching?
Yes, automated processes enable scheduled deployment of updates and patches with minimal service disruption. You can use tools like Azure Automation or Logic Apps to automate the entire patching process.
