What is this?

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) defines cloud resources in versioned files instead of console clicks.

Why should you care?

CloudVerse audits every subnet and firewall change through Git history.

See it live — copy this example

Use AWS/Azure/GCP free tier or local Docker/Kind. Sketches and YAML are meant to be typed and adapted.

# Terraform — CloudVerse dev VNet snippet
resource "azurerm_resource_group" "cv_dev" {
  name     = "rg-cloudverse-dev"
  location = "eastus"
}
resource "azurerm_virtual_network" "cv" {
  name                = "vnet-cloudverse-dev"
  address_space       = ["10.40.0.0/16"]
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.cv_dev.location
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.cv_dev.name
}

What happened?

  • Declarative IaC converges state to desired config.
  • Plan before apply; store state securely.

Practice next

  1. Write one resource in Terraform or Bicep.
  2. Run plan.
  3. Apply to a sandbox.
  4. Add a variable for environment name.
  5. Import an existing resource into state.

Remember

Version infra like app code. Plan/apply workflow. Remote state + locks.

CloudVerse VNet in Git

Network team proposes subnet change via PR.

Outcome: Reviewers see diff; apply is repeatable.
