In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I’m taking a closer look at Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and looking at the benefits it can help to provide when provisioning and decommissioning IT Infrastructure.

Infrastructure as code enables developers or IT Infrastructure teams to automatically manage, monitor and provision resources, rather than manually configuring hardware and operating systems.

Listen to the podcast to discover whether you should consider an imperative or declarative programming approach to developing your code and if you should opt for a mutable or immutable environment to avoid configuration drift.
