In recent years, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has emerged as a game-changer for managing IT operations. By enabling teams to define and manage infrastructure using codes, IaC offers numerous benefits, such as increased agility, scalability, and consistency. However, along with the advantages, some unique security challenges also arise that must be addressed promptly. Here in the blog, we’ll explore the best practices to maintain the integrity and reliability of the Infrastructure.

A CI/CD environment provides a foundation for the software delivery process by giving the ability to be deployed more quickly and without interruption. This notion, which is being automated and integrated, focuses on the CI/CD process. CI or continuous integration methodology, in other words, includes developers committing small changes to their code which gets authenticated, built, tested, and merged together to a common code repository, occurring on a constant basis.
