ADO Infrastructure as Code Episode

The intent of this episode is to discuss, from a tools-agnostic perspective, the concepts of Infrastructure as Code. Right now I've listed "areas of interest", which will turn into a more organized "agenda" at some point.

Areas of interest

• Storing configuration in source control
• Testing infra code for consistency and reliability
• Using principles of CI and CD for infra code
• Aligning infracode with app code
• Lessons learned from real-world implementations

Because Chef / Puppet are declarative languages, and because every resource type is a test/repair loop, that means that you're already running tests constantly in the language itself.

This can make it feel like you don't need to do further testing, but of course you do. Puppet Labs & CHEF just make sure that their products do what they say on the tin: That is, if I say package 'foo' then it will install package foo with the proper package provider. Think of Chef / Puppet as black box interpreters. You have to test 3 things when working with them:

• Signal in: Did I send a properly formed piece of code to the interpreter?
• Signal processing: Was my well-formed signal properly interpreted?
• Signal out: Did my well-formed code, correctly interpreted, actually achieve the thing I set out to do?
