What are we running - Tagging infrastructure in Azure
Asset Tagging is one of the best ways for providing run-time compliance and versioning information in cloud-based resources. All of the major cloud providers provide the ability to annotate cloud resources with custom tags. We reliably version/tag cloud resources if we follow the Infrastructure as Code philosophy. All our infrastructure is created using scripts that call cloud APIs, or resource templates that can be loaded by cloud APIs. Infrastructure versioning has both design time and run time components. The design-time pieces come into play at build and packaging time and when deploying. The run time component is what lets us interrogate the component or the cloud metadata around that component. Video Design-time infrastructure versions with IaC IaC uses code or configuration files to drive provisioning. Those files can be checked into source code management systems where they can be branched and versioned like any other code. We can always qu...
