The concept of Infrastructure as Code was relatively new six years ago. Today, with even traditionally conservative organizations such as banks looking to migrate to the cloud, companies worldwide are working on building large infrastructure codebases. In this practical book, Kief Morris of ThoughtWorks shows you how to effectively implement principles, practices, and patterns that were pioneered by DevOps teams to manage infrastructure in the cloud age.

This updated edition is ideal for a variety of professionals, including system administrators, infrastructure engineers, software developers, team leads, and architects. It demonstrates how cloud and automation technology can be exploited to make changes easily, safely, quickly, and responsibly. The book advises to define everything as code and apply software design and engineering practices to build the system from smaller, loosely-coupled pieces.

The topics covered in this book includes:

Foundations: Use Infrastructure as Code to drive continuous change and improve operational quality, utilizing tools and technologies to build cloud-based platforms.
Working with infrastructure stacks: Learn how to define, provision, test, and continuously deliver changes to your infrastructure resources.
Working with servers and other platforms: Use patterns to design provisioning and configuration for servers and clusters.
Working with large systems and teams: Master workflows, governance, and architectural patterns to manage infrastructure elements.
