How does it sound to deploy the entire infrastructure, services and applications of a company without human interaction? And I really mean from zero to complete functional with monitored applications.

Have you already reached that level of IaC maturity? Great! So tell me how much time do you need to deploy your entire environment on another cloud region (never used before)? And without any human intervention touching any web interface or using any command line tools? And no, I’m not talking about a DR environment.

ARGLabs is an IaC testing lab where I’ll be posting some scenarios and simple IaC solutions to build and deploy them so you can use it as it is and/or help me to solving and deploying more scenarios.

As IaC we understand that if it can’t be done as code, it can’t be done at all. We’ll provide all the tools to operate all the environment and solve problems without touching any web interface or CLI tools. Most people don’t believe it can be done and settle with “partial” automation. ARGLabs is here to prove that we don’t need any manual intervention.

You will always be able (and welcome) to reproduce this entire lab if you want,as all the codes are available.

Does it sound too easy? That’s the beauty of IaC when done simple.

  Because churches are places of faith. I love IaC. I really do IaC. I think I understood what we can really do with IaC. But I’ve seen many “good practices” out there that I thought aren’t good enough, many written by famous people and others even by the tool suppliers themselves. In fact, everyone can … Continue reading Why a .church domain ?
