Infrastructure as code practices

Infrastructure as code practices enable teams to manage infrastructure through code. GitScrum helps track infrastructure changes, deployments, and maintenance tasks across development environments.

Infrastructure code patterns

  • Declarative configuration: Define desired state, let tools handle implementation
  • Modular design: Break infrastructure into reusable components
  • Version control: Treat infrastructure code like application code
  • Testing: Validate infrastructure changes before deployment
