    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
