Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an innovative approach to building application and software infrastructure with code. IaC enables automated provisioning and management of the full technology stack by translating manual, repetitive tasks into reusable, robust, and distributable code. IaC relies on practices that have been successfully used for years in software development, such as versioning, automated testing, release tagging, continuous delivery, etc.
Cisco Data Center Network (DCN) IaC solutions cover integrations with common third-party tools from HashiCorp and Red Hat Ansible. These solutions enable customers to empower application services to define network and security requirements at the infrastructure layer in an automated and fully synchronized manner. With this approach, you can embrace a DevOps model by accelerating applications deployment and optimize network compliance in a safe and predictable manner.
Benefits of IaC
* Scalability and reliability
* Automation and agility
* Higher ROI and lower TCO
