Infrastructure as Code Services

Why Infrastructure as Code Matters

Managing infrastructure manually is slow, error-prone, and nearly impossible to audit at scale. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) transforms how organizations provision, configure, and manage their cloud and on-premises environments by treating infrastructure definitions as software artifacts. Instead of clicking through consoles or running ad-hoc scripts, your entire environment is declared in code, stored in version control, and deployed through automated pipelines.

Exodata brings deep expertise in IaC practices across all major cloud platforms. As an Azure Expert MSP, AWS Advanced Partner, and VMware Cloud Verified provider, we help organizations of every size adopt Infrastructure as Code to accelerate deployments, reduce human error, and achieve consistent, repeatable results across development, staging, and production environments.

Our Infrastructure as Code Tooling Expertise

Terraform

HashiCorp Terraform is the industry standard for multi-cloud infrastructure provisioning. Exodata leverages Terraform to define and manage resources across Azure, AWS, VMware, and hybrid environments using a single, declarative language (HCL).

• State management with remote backends (Azure Blob Storage, S3, Terraform Cloud) for team collaboration
• Module development that encapsulates reusable patterns for networking, compute, storage, and security
• Provider ecosystem integration covering hundreds of cloud services and third-party tools
• Workspace strategies for managing multiple environments from a single codebase
• Sentinel and OPA policy enforcement to ensure deployments comply with organizational standards

Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Templates & Bicep

For organizations deeply invested in the Microsoft ecosystem, ARM templates and Bicep provide native Azure infrastructure provisioning with zero additional tooling requirements.

• Bicep adoption to simplify ARM template authoring with a cleaner, more readable syntax
• Template specs and deployment stacks for governed, reusable deployment artifacts
• What-if analysis to preview changes before they reach production
• Linked and nested templates for modular, maintainable deployments at enterprise scale

AWS CloudFormation

As an AWS Advanced Partner, Exodata designs and manages CloudFormation stacks that automate your entire AWS environment.

• Stack sets for multi-account, multi-region deployments
• Nested stacks for modular architecture and reuse
• Change sets to review proposed modifications before execution
• CloudFormation Guard for policy-as-code validation
• AWS CDK integration for teams that prefer defining infrastructure with familiar programming languages

Pulumi

For development teams that want to define infrastructure using general-purpose programming languages such as TypeScript, Python, Go, or C#, Exodata offers Pulumi consulting and implementation services.

• Language-native development with full IDE support, type checking, and testing frameworks
• State management through Pulumi Cloud or self-hosted backends
• Cross-cloud provisioning with a unified programming model
• Integration with existing CI/CD pipelines and development workflows

Benefits of Infrastructure as Code

Repeatability and Consistency

Every deployment follows the same template. Whether you are spinning up a new environment for a development team, replicating production for disaster recovery, or onboarding a new client, the result is identical every time. Manual steps, missed configurations, and environment drift become problems of the past.

Version Control and Auditability

IaC definitions live in Git repositories alongside your application code. Every change is tracked through commits, reviewed in pull requests, and linked to work items. This provides a complete audit trail that satisfies compliance requirements for frameworks like HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI DSS.

Drift Detection and Remediation

Over time, manual changes and ad-hoc fixes cause environments to drift away from their intended state. Exodata implements continuous drift detection that compares your live infrastructure against its declared configuration, alerting your team and optionally auto-remediating discrepancies before they cause outages or security vulnerabilities.

Faster Time to Market

Automated infrastructure provisioning reduces deployment times from days or weeks to minutes. Development teams can self-service their own environments without waiting on IT, while guardrails ensure compliance and cost controls remain in place.

Cost Optimization

IaC enables precise resource tagging, automated scheduling (shutting down non-production resources outside business hours), and right-sizing analysis. Exodata integrates cost management policies directly into your infrastructure code so budget controls are enforced at deployment time.

How Exodata Delivers IaC

Assessment and Strategy

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your current infrastructure, deployment processes, and team capabilities. This assessment identifies the best IaC tooling for your environment, establishes coding standards, and defines a phased adoption roadmap.

Design and Implementation

Exodata engineers design modular, reusable IaC templates following industry best practices. We build out your foundational landing zones, networking topologies, identity configurations, and governance policies as code.

Pipeline Integration

Infrastructure code is only as valuable as the pipeline that deploys it. We integrate your IaC repositories with CI/CD platforms such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins to enable automated plan, review, and apply workflows with appropriate approval gates.

Knowledge Transfer and Enablement

Our goal is to empower your internal teams. Exodata provides hands-on training sessions, comprehensive documentation, and pair-programming engagements to ensure your staff can maintain and extend the IaC codebase independently.

Ongoing Managed Services

For organizations that prefer to focus on their core business, Exodata offers fully managed IaC operations. Our engineers maintain your templates, respond to drift alerts, implement change requests, and continuously optimize your infrastructure, all backed by our 24/7/365 support with a 15-minute response SLA.
