7 Most Useful Infrastructure as Code Deployment Tools

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a method of managing and provisioning infrastructure through code or configuration files. It differs from traditional application development in that it involves three main aspects: source code or configuration files, real-world infrastructure deployments, and state file/database storing deployment statuses. Some tools ease IaC implementation, such as Terraform Cloud, Pulumi Service, AWS CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager, Google Cloud Deployment Manager, Ansible Automation Platform, and Spacelift. These tools offer various features like event-driven runs, state management, remote execution environments, workspaces, integration capabilities with VCS providers, and more.
