Cloud Application Infrastructure from Code (IfC)
Too Long; Didn't Read
The concept of infrastructure from code (IfC) is the next logical step in cloud automation. It builds on the widespread adoption of*Infrastructure as Code (IaC) which to date requires manual generation and maintenance of cloud configuration specifications. This article aims at providing a more formalized justification for the assertion that IfC is the logical successor to IaC and will evolve quickly. To understand why traditional Infrastructure as Code is no longer adequate for the new serverless world, we need to return to the very basics. Technology and practices co-evolve together.
