Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Policy as Code

Commitment to Automation, Consistency, and Security at Scale
We believe that manual infrastructure management and ad-hoc security policies create inconsistency, inefficiency, and unnecessary risk. To ensure repeatability, security, and scalability, we treat infrastructure and policies as code, embedding automation, compliance, and governance into our engineering workflows.
By codifying infrastructure and policies, we eliminate drift, improve reliability, and enable teams to move faster with confidence, ensuring that every environment is secure, compliant, and consistent - every time.

What This Means
Teams must provision, manage, and enforce security policies through code, ensuring that all changes are version-controlled, tested, and repeatable.

Our commitment to IaC & Policy as Code is built on:

• Automated, Versioned Infrastructure – All infrastructure is defined in code, version-controlled, and deployed through automated pipelines, eliminating manual errors.
• Consistent & Repeatable Environments – Development, staging, and production environments are identical, reducing configuration drift and deployment failures.
• Security & Compliance as Code – Security policies, access controls, and compliance rules are codified and enforced automatically, ensuring continuous governance.
• Immutable Infrastructure & Declarative Management – Changes are tracked, predictable, and reversible, reducing operational risk and downtime.
• Self-Service & Developer Empowerment – Teams can provision, scale, and modify infrastructure autonomously while staying within secure guardrails.

Why This Matters
Traditional, manual infrastructure management leads to inconsistencies, operational risks, and security vulnerabilities. By adopting IaC & Policy as Code, we:

• Eliminate manual errors and inconsistencies across environments.
• Increase security and compliance by enforcing best practices through automation.
• Accelerate delivery by enabling teams to self-serve infrastructure needs safely.
• Enhance reliability and scalability, ensuring infrastructure evolves predictably.

Our Expectation
All teams must adopt Infrastructure as Code and Policy as Code principles, ensuring that infrastructure and security policies are automated, repeatable, and embedded in version control. Leaders must champion the shift towards automation-first operations, ensuring that manual processes are replaced with codified, scalable solutions.

To support this policy, IaC frameworks, policy automation tools, and infrastructure best practices will be provided, ensuring that teams have the guidance, tooling, and workflows needed to operate efficiently and securely. By making IaC & Policy as Code a standard practice, we create an automated, secure, and scalable foundation for modern digital engineering - delivering Better Value Sooner Safer Happier.

This policy ensures automation, security, and consistency across all infrastructure and governance processes.
