Build vs. Buy: Striking the Right Balance for IaC Management
"Balancing control, cost, and scalability is key when deciding between building or buying IaC automation tools. This guide explores the challenges of managing IaC in-house and how a dedicated platform can streamline workflows and reduce overhead..."
In this guide we cover:
- The key factors to weigh when deciding between building in-house or adopting a pre-built solution, including cost, time-to-value, and maintenance.
- Why general CI/CD tools often fall short when managing IaC at scale, introducing challenges like code drift, access control gaps, and rising complexity.
- How a dedicated platform like env0 helps overcome these limitations with automation, governance, and visibility tools.
What’s inside:
- Build vs. Buy Comparison: Weigh costs, scalability, and feature sets to find the right approach for your team.
- Challenges of General Tools: Understand limitations like manual processes, inconsistent workflows, and governance gaps.
- How env0 Helps: See how a dedicated platform improves automation, governance, and visibility at scale.
