Deploy style: Declarative cloud / infrastructure
This is an article in a series on Deployment
Not everything can be run on a single machine (although much can, systems are powerful these days(!)). There are options to declare a full cloud configuration, albeit typically linked to a single cloud provider. You declare what servers need to be running what images, which additional services you need (managed storage, databases), network architecture and more. Well known options are Amazon’s CloudFormation (“limited” to manage AWS) and OpenTofu (multi cloud fork of the now “BSL” licensed Terraform).
