But it works on my machinein the production! … which is good until you need to modify something at which point the production environment promptly collapses into a black hole and you will spend days trying to rebuild it. @dkf said in Infrastructure as Excavations: @Bulb said in Infrastructure as Excavations: @dkf Yeah, except the infrastructure actually deployed is kinda analogous to that software built on developer machine. That was my point. While that remains true, infrastructure remains stuck at the manual build/deploy stage. Being able to build the system from scratch using only scripted instructions (with all bits coming from repositories, though probably private ones) is far superior. When you have that, you can do Continuous Deployment, and can say what should be up because you brought it all up in a controlled fashion; if it isn't on the list, it isn't needed and should be slaughtered. … which assumes a lot of things this cowboy operation unfortunately does not have, like a separate staging environment. The pinnacle of staging is currently staging slots in functionapps.
