What are best practices for Infrastructure as Code?
Infrastructure as Code lets teams manage infrastructure with the same rigor as application code: reviewable changes, automated validation, and repeatable environments. This reduces drift, improves safety, and makes scale manageable.
Practical guidance
- Structure IaC into reusable modules with clear inputs and outputs.
- Isolate state per environment and use remote backends with locking.
- Run plan/validate checks in CI before apply operations.
- Enforce naming, tagging, and folder conventions to keep repos maintainable.
