The challenge with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) is that it can cut across disciplines, requiring security expertise, developer programming skills, and the deployment abilities of IT operations. “That code doesn’t write itself — you still need [a] tremendous amount of subject matter expertise in terms of operations and security,” said https://www.linkedin.com/in/venkat-thiruvengadam-35a7396, CEO and founder of https://duplocloud.com/platform/. “This idea that developers would just use infrastructure as code and build software, I think it’s starting to hit challenges — because while they know how to do programming, the developers don’t know operations because they’re not IT [operations] people, they don’t know security because they’re not security people.”

The cross-disciplinary skills required by IaC — someone with security, operations and coding experience — is a niche, Thiruvengadam told The New Stack.

Configuration drift, system faults, security and compliance controls are monitored continuously by the solution interacting with the cloud provider, DuploCloud noted.
