The full answer
Infrastructure as code treats servers and services the way application code is treated. Changes go through pull requests, are reviewed by another engineer and are applied through CI/CD pipelines, so there is a record of what changed, when and why.
The practical benefits show up quickly. Staging and production stay consistent, a new environment for testing or a new region for data residency can be created from the same definitions, and recovery after an incident starts from a known configuration.
Creuto uses Terraform across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and combines it with Docker and Kubernetes where appropriate. Secrets are kept in a managed secrets store rather than in code, and access follows least-privilege principles.
For regulated clients, infrastructure code supports audits: reviewers can see encryption settings, network rules and logging configuration directly rather than relying on screenshots. This supports SOC 2 and ISO 27001 aligned practices, which Creuto follows without claiming certification.
If your existing infrastructure was built by hand, Creuto can import it into Terraform incrementally, starting with the most critical components, as part of a DevOps engagement.
