Power of the Cloud

The Boulder County Business Report covered cloud computing in their Power of the cloud article found in their Oct. 16 – 29 issue, discussing the benefits of cloud based storage, Software as a Service applications, and various platform offerings. Businesses that want to take advantage of cloud computing should take a good look at their requirements and plan a network architecture that allows portability between different cloud computing platforms. They should focus on developing an infrastructure that can be deployed in a repeatable, testable, and idempotent manner.

Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure as code is a methodology to achieve these properties by developing code that models the desired network infrastructure. The result is a highly-automated, validated, revision controlled codebase that can be applied to a cloud computing platform to load and configure the necessary packages that make up the network architecture for an organization.
