Why Infrastructure as a code
This is an interesting point and bit controversial but why IAAC. Well I am very active on this but I really found, this is still not that much established and even cloud engineers and every Infra doesn't follow this.
Hi @abhishek-ch, in my experience when working with cloud infrastructure, Infrastructure as Code is essential to follow what resources are created/changed in different environments. But this is my personal experience so far. In your experience how do engineers version or keep track of cloud infrastructure?
I think IAAC is more related to cloud engineer than data Engineer. It is okay to know, but not worth it spending time studying and mastering
I use Terraform (iaac) pretty much everyday. But yes, it's not a core technology.
I work with Terraform & Co. as well (and it's an absolutely important approach for my company), but I wouldn't say, that IAAC should be a core skill for a data engineer.
