Deliver infrastructure as code under control: approved plan, policies, engine identity and cost

Have a pipeline apply the reviewed and approved plan, with state locking and separated rights, choose between CI push and GitOps pull, block with policies before apply, give the engine a short-lived OIDC identity and control cost from the code.

• Keep an IaC repository healthy: layered structure, plan review, testing pyramid and secrets out of the code

Recommended before · 3

• Write a first pipeline and read its failures
• Write a correct Rego policy in OPA 1.x syntax, and predict what it returns
• Replace the shared secret with a verifiable machine identity (OIDC)

Beyond the lessons

Assess, practise, pass the proof

Reading a lesson confirms nothing. A skill is confirmed by a passed quiz, practised in a guided lab, and put to the test by a challenge or a mission; an imported lab result is not verified by the site.

Assess yourself

At the end of the lessons: passed at 70%, they confirm the skill.

Who requires it, who teaches it

Taught by

• Infrastructure as Code (in French)

Same block · Reason about and maintain infrastructure as code, whatever the tool

• Predict what an IaC tool will create, change or destroy: declarative model, idempotence, state and plan
• Choose an IaC approach and record the decision: provision or configure, change or replace, push or pull
• Choose the IaC tool family that fits the problem: resources, configuration, images, language
• Keep an IaC repository healthy: layered structure, plan review, testing pyramid and secrets out of the code
• Structure infrastructure as code at scale: stacks, versioned modules, environments and debt
• Evolve an existing infrastructure in code: import, drift, replacement and destruction
