Study Notes
IaC Configuration Tools
- Examples of IaC configuration tools include Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Puppet, Chef, and PowerShell
- These tools provide quicker deployments across development, test, and production environments
Benefits of IaC
- Quicker configuration changes
- Quicker recovery
- Consistency and less configuration drift
- Reusability of code
- Version control with easier rollbacks
- Visibility of configuration settings
Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
- CI/CD alters the traditional model by integrating changes regularly via automation
- Automation makes deployments and updates quicker, more consistent, easily scalable, and more cost-effective
- Service accounts have a narrow scope of access, just enough to run the service or application
Troubleshooting Identity Changes
- Configuration management primarily uses a system's IP address or hostname to identify it
This quiz assesses your understanding of the benefits of using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) configuration tools such as Ansible, Puppet, Chef, and PowerShell. It covers the advantages of IaC tools in terms of quicker deployments, configuration changes, and recovery, as well as consistency, reusability, and version control.
