Getting Started with Infrastructure

Overview

In this day and age, managing your infrastructure can be done in code. Managing your infrastructure as code (IAC) has several advantages:

• The version control system gives you an audit trail out of the box.
• Consistent setup for each environment.
• Anyone on your team can run your infrastructure locally or in the cloud.

There are many tools existing today which help you with managing your infrastructure as code. Some popular examples include Ansible, Serverless, Terraform, Pulumi, Chef, Puppet, etc. The issue of the current landscape of tools is that each tool requires some different setup. In addition to it, each tool works and runs differently. Commandeer solves this problem by allowing you to run and edit your infrastructure configuration from a consistent desktop GUI with the ability to see the results of the run. Commandeer can run against your local environment or against your cloud account.

Setup

All IaC tools require Docker running on your machine. As long as Docker is running, we'll be able to pull the right images for the IaC tool of your choice and run it.
