It follows storage from everyday use cases like apps, photos and media to enterprise needs such as archiving, backup and disaster recovery. Listeners...
What is infrastructure automation?
16d ago · 12:56
This episode of Techsplainers explores infrastructure automation as the broader goal behind infrastructure as code practices. It explains how automation allows organizations to provision, configure and manage infrastructure through repeatable, code-driven workflows instead of manual processes, making it possible to operate complex hybrid and multicloud environments with greater speed and reliability. The episode breaks infrastructure automation into three core functions: provisioning,...
Terraform in IaC
17d ago · 11:23
This episode of Techsplainers explores how Terraform is used to implement infrastructure as code, focusing on the practical mechanics that turn infrastructure from a manual process into a repeatable engineering discipline. It explains how Terraform’s declarative model lets teams define the end state of infrastructure in human-readable files, then automatically plan and apply changes based on dependencies and current state. The episode follows Terraform’s core workflow of write, plan and...
What is provisioning?
18d ago · 10:53
This episode of Techsplainers explores provisioning through the lens of infrastructure as code, explaining why it is such a foundational part of modern IT operations. It breaks down provisioning as the process of setting up infrastructure and making resources available for systems and users, from servers and networks to applications, cloud services and devices. The episode also clarifies a common source of confusion by separating provisioning from configuration. Provisioning creates and...
What is infrastructure as code?
19d ago · 11:26
This episode of Techsplainers explores infrastructure as code, the DevOps practice of automating infrastructure provisioning and management through configuration files rather than manual processes. It explains how IaC treats infrastructure like software, allowing teams to write, version, test and deploy infrastructure with the same rigor they apply to application code.
