But if you’ve given up on it or find it too costly, we can help.
Code Less. Compose More.
Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) has revolutionized how organizations manage and deploy applications, offering automation, scalability, and control. While some businesses thrive with it, others struggle—either overwhelmed by its complexity or unable to harness its full potential.
This article examines both sides: those burdened by IaC’s unnecessary intricacies (overserved) and those held back by its steep learning curve and challenges (underserved).
The overserved: too much of a good thing
For some organizations, IaC introduces more complexity than they need, leading to inefficiencies and frustration. Common challenges include:
- Over-complication: Kubernetes, for example, offers auto-scaling and self-healing, but many teams use it like traditional virtual machines (VMs), adding unnecessary complexity without real benefits.
- Tool overload: The vast array of IaC tools and configurations can overwhelm teams, leading to wasted time and resources in pursuit of the “right” setup.
- Rising costs with diminishing returns: IaC often demands specialized skills, increasing operational expenses that may outweigh its benefits—especially when its full potential goes unrealized.
For these over-served organizations, IaC can feel more like a burden than a breakthrough.
The underserved: falling short of the promise
On the flip side, some organizations find IaC inaccessible or impractical, leaving them underserved and unable to realize its benefits. Common challenges include:
- Abandoning IaC completely: Many organizations give up on IaC due to its complexity or lack of expertise, falling back on manual deployments that are slow and error-prone.
- Inefficient spending: Without clear guidance or proper implementation, IaC investments can spiral out of control without delivering meaningful results.
- Exclusion of non-technical teams: Many IaC tools require deep technical knowledge, sidelining non-experts and limiting cross-team collaboration.
These obstacles create roadblocks for organizations striving to modernize their infrastructure while staying within budget and capability constraints.
(Infra)code less. Compose more.
Entando Operations offers a solution for both overserved and underserved organizations, tackling the inefficiencies and challenges of IaC:
- Simplify deployment processes: Compose applications once and deploy them across multiple environments—not just Kubernetes. Entando eliminates the need for deep IaC expertise, streamlining workflows.
- Reduce costs and operational overhead: By abstracting infrastructure complexities, Entando empowers non-experts, decreases ticket volumes, and lowers costs.
- Enable value-driven development: Instead of wrestling with infrastructure, teams can focus on innovation and business impact.
Whether you’re overwhelmed by IaC’s complexity or underserved by its demands, Entando Operations provides a modern, efficient alternative to help your organization thrive.
