Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Usage in Microservices

The video tutorial explains Infrastructure as Code (IAC), a software development approach that treats infrastructure as a code base, allowing it to be managed and versioned like application code. IAC aims to automate and streamline infrastructure management, particularly in microservice deployments using Kubernetes. The tutorial discusses tools like Terraform and Ansible for implementing IAC and highlights the use of Kubernetes manifests for defining necessary resources. By adopting IAC, teams can achieve more automated, repeatable, and maintainable infrastructure management.

Explain the role of Terraform in managing infrastructure as code.

How does Ansible facilitate the deployment and management of infrastructure?

What are Kubernetes manifest files and what purpose do they serve?

Discuss the benefits of using infrastructure as code for managing microservices.
