Infrastructure as Code

Why it matters

Make environments reviewable and reproducible with Bicep, Git and automated checks.

Start a technical decision with business constraints. Establish who will operate the solution, how success will be measured and what happens when it fails.

When to reconsider

A GitOps controller is unnecessary when a simple deployment pipeline meets the need.

A practical first step

Choose one representative workflow. Measure the baseline, compare at least two options and record the trade-offs in an ADR. Expand only after validating the result.
