Infrastructure as Code
Infrastructure as code defines your servers, networks and services as version-controlled scripts instead of manual console changes, so an environment can be rebuilt deliberately and reviewed like any other change.
What Manually Built Infrastructure Costs You Later
- Only one person knows the exact sequence of console clicks that created the current setup
- Staging and production have quietly drifted apart because changes were made to one and not the other
- Rebuilding after a disaster means remembering configuration rather than running a script
- There is no record of who changed a setting, or why, before something started failing
A Rebuildable, Reviewed Environment
A Rebuildable Environment
Any environment can be recreated from its scripts, whether to add a new region, replace a failed setup, or spin up a clean copy for testing.
Reviewed Change History
Every infrastructure change goes through the same review process as application code, instead of disappearing into a console session.
Consistency Between Environments and Faster Recovery
Environment Parity
Staging is generated from the same scripts as production, so a difference between them is a decision rather than an accident.
Faster Disaster Recovery
A destroyed environment is rebuilt from its definitions in a fraction of the time manual reconstruction would take.
How We Introduce This Without Disrupting You
We script your existing setup as it actually runs today first, so nothing changes behaviour, then propose and script improvements as a separate, reviewed step once the current state is captured.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need this if we only run one or two servers?
It matters less at very small scale, where a written setup guide may be enough. It becomes worth doing once you have more than a couple of environments, more than one person touching infrastructure, or a recovery time that matters if a server is lost.
What drives the cost of scripting our infrastructure?
How much of your current setup already exists and must be reproduced accurately versus rebuilt from a clean design, and how many environments and services are in scope.
What drives the timeline for scripting our infrastructure?
Reproducing an existing, undocumented setup takes longer than scripting a new one, since it involves first discovering exactly what is running today before it can be written down accurately.
Can you script our existing environment without changing it?
Yes. We can write the scripts to match what already exists, so the infrastructure keeps behaving the same way, then propose improvements separately once the current state is captured and version-controlled.
Does this replace the need for someone to manage our infrastructure day to day?
No. It changes how changes are made and environments are rebuilt; it does not remove the ongoing need for monitoring, patching and incident response, which is a separate, continuous piece of work.
Who owns the scripts afterwards?
You do, delivered into your own source repository with commit history, so any developer can read, change or hand them to another vendor without depending on us.
What do you need from us to script the current setup?
Access to the current environment, a list of anything that must not change during the process, and one person who can confirm the rebuilt environment matches expectations before it replaces the manually managed one.
