Infrastructure-as-code (IAC) has changed how IT departments manage both hardware and software-defined infrastructure. Does the codification of infrastructure in the cloud (AND data center!!) mean that IT operations teams are no longer needed? Special guest Michael Damkot joins our co-hosts Robert Starmer and Lew Tucker to break down what IAC is, where the value really lies, and whether traditional IT departments should fear its adoption.
