Infrastructure as Code Transforming Enterprise IT Operations
Abstract
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is transforming the way the IT systems of the enterprise are put into place and managed. The presented paper is a quantitative study of the effects of IaC. IT specialists were interviewed and the data was compared between the traditional systems and IaC-based systems. The analysis indicates IaC saves deployment time, costs, percentage better resource utilization, and reliability of the system. It also minimizes configuration error source and manual efforts. There are still certain challenges such as security issues and some requirement of appropriate abilities. The research demonstrates that IaC can be successfully used as the means of enhancing IT functioning and accelerating and streamlining the delivery of services in the contemporary enterprises.
