Local Env as Code: Is it possible yet?
Guest post by Jan Van Bruggen, Developer Relations Lead at itopia In the past decade, we’ve seen the rise, standardization and meme-ification of “as code”: Infrastructure as Code, Monitoring as Code, Policy as Code and soon perhaps Data as Code. Essentially, “Stuff as Code” is the practice of statelessly automating the management of “stuff” via version-controlled, declarative configuration files. Therefore, it’s worth asking if the same DevOps practice can be applied effectively to a set of unstable resources even more near and dear to developers than their backends – their local coding environments.
