Infrastructure as code is the process of managing and provisioning computing infrastructures through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools. This is the mantra of IM and EC3 tools, two services that allow users to automate the deployment and configuration process of virtual infrastructures on top of cloud resources. While IM facilitates the deployment of a cluster with a fixed number of nodes, EC3 provides the cluster with elasticity capabilities, where the number of nodes is automatically adapted to the workload of the cluster.
In this training session, we will show both the IM Dashboard and the EC3 CLI tools in action.
