Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Manual infrastructure setup is slow, inconsistent, and prone to misconfiguration especially as environments grow and teams scale. Small mistakes can lead to outages, security gaps, and hard to reproduce deployments.

The solution, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) clarifies this by defining infrastructure in version controlled code, enabling automated, repeatable deployments. Teams can provision environments consistently, review changes before rollout, and reduce manual errors while accelerating delivery.

Together...

HashiCorp Terraform standardises infrastructure provisioning and lifecycle management as code, acting as a system of record and supporting guardrails like policy as code, drift detection, and continuous validation.

BlackDuck Infrastructure as Code scans Terraform and other IaC’s to find and fix misconfigurations before they reach production, providing fix advice across IDE, SCM, CLI, and Terraform Cloud/Enterprise workflows.

Black Duck SCA adds software supply chain governance by identifying open source and third party components across source code, artifacts, and containers, generating SBOMs, and enforcing policy throughout the SDLC.

Together, Terraform and Black Duck enable AI assisted delivery with secure by default cloud configurations, repeatable deployments, and auditable compliance across every environment and cloud account.

Terraform has widely become the de-facto tool for delivering Infrastructure as code & AI is powering more code to be generated that ever. Large organisations now need to use AI to avoid mis-configs, tap into self-healing code, remediate bad code and operate more intelligently & compliantly.

Customers with large developer teams, that have cloud migrations in flight or that simply need to be compliant see these challenges the most.

Answering these questions helps uncover risks and align your strategy with best practices in AI Powered Infrastructure as Code.

1	How are you provisioning and changing cloud infrastructure today? and how consistent is it across teams?
2	Are teams using templates or GenAI tools to speed up IaC creation? and what guardrails exist before changes are applied?
3	Do you scan IaC pulls to catch misconfigurations early, and do you block risky changes automatically?
4	How do you enforce infrastructure standards (network exposure, encryption, IAM least privilege) and detect drift after deployment?
5	How do you manage supply chain risk in your infrastructure automation (third party modules, build tooling, dependencies) and produce audit evidence when asked?
