A Brief Introduction to Infrastructure Automation
- pkilgore 8y agoThis pairs really well with the earlier, more general article: https://stephenmann.io/post/whats-in-a-production-web-application/ https://stephenmann.io/post/whats-in-a-production-web-applic... I'm a bit new to this, but I found the concept/discussion of immutable infrastructure particularly interesting: > Immutable infrastructure allows creating identical replicas of every version of an application. This allows you to build auto-scaling mechanisms, to replicate issues occurring in a production environment without interfering with the actual production environment, to run tests against exact production infrastructure before deploying, and much more. These are invaluable techniques for any production system.
