Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for Enterprise Cloud Migrations: Cost and Performance Optimization Strategies
Keywords:
Infrastructure as Code, cloud migration, performance optimizationAbstract
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is emerged as a crucial model for enterprises undertaking cloud migration to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), which enables automation, scalability, and cost efficiency. By utilising IaC tools like Terraform, Ansible, and AWS CloudFormation, Companies can achieve consistent infrastructure supply which reduces configuration drift and enhance deployment agility. The objective of this paper is to explore the role of IaC in optimising utilisation of cloud resources. This paper also focuses on cost reduction and performance enhancements strategies.
