The traditional mutable approach to infrastructure causes delays in the DevOps pipeline. Dependencies can make application deployments difficult and human innovation is actually slowed down by technology. Immutable IaC creates consistent environments that allow for automated testing and deployment that accelerates the DevOps process and eliminates delays and clogs in the pipeline.
With immutable IaC, teams don’t have to worry about manually validating changes. Everything can be handled through a continuous delivery pipeline that automates all the deployment and testing requirements. New applications can go online faster and all the usual risks associated with change can be eliminated.
Just because mutable infrastructures have been the standard doesn’t mean that they are the best solution. IT teams may be reluctant to let go of their manual update responsibilities, but automating tasks ultimately create more time and space for them to work on true innovations that can push the company forward.
