There was a time when managing cloud infrastructure manually was fine. Spin up a few instances, configure settings through the console, and you're off. But as environments grew in scale, complexity, and compliance requirements, that approach became unsustainable.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) isn’t just a better way—it’s a strategic necessity.
At InfoGlobalTech, we’ve seen firsthand how the right Infrastructure as Code (IaC) implementation can transform operations from fragile and reactive to automated, predictable, and scalable. And when it comes to IaC on AWS, CloudFormation is at the heart of our success stories.
Why IaC Matters More Than Ever
With IaC, infrastructure becomes versioned, repeatable, and testable, just like application code. That means fewer surprises, faster deployments, and better control over your entire environment.
Need to replicate an environment across dev, test, and prod? Done.
Want to roll back a change? Easy.
Need an audit trail of what changed and when? Built in.
IaC enables DevOps practices, accelerates innovation, and ensures you can scale infrastructure without scaling risk.
Our Experience - Rolling Updates at Scale with CloudFormation (a digital health platform)
In our recent work, a digital health platform scaling its services globally, we designed a rolling update deployment strategy using AWS CloudFormation.
The goal was simple: enable seamless updates to infrastructure and application stacks without downtime, while ensuring compliance and consistency across environments.
Using CloudFormation’s UpdatePolicy with AutoScalingRollingUpdate, we orchestrated updates that progressively replaced instances while maintaining availability thresholds. This allowed the AVA team to roll out new features and security updates in a controlled, automated manner, without impacting uptime or user experience.
But it wasn’t just about automation, it was about trust. With full version control, rollback capabilities, and integrated monitoring, the business behind the platform gained the confidence to deploy faster, iterate often, and stay compliant without manual overhead.
CloudFormation: Strategic Value Beyond Templates
CloudFormation does more than automate resource provisioning—it enables a blueprint for repeatable success. At InfoGlobalTech, we leverage it to enforce configuration standards, integrate with CI/CD pipelines, and build secure-by-default infrastructure.
We don’t just write templates—we build infrastructure frameworks that support long-term agility. Combined with tools like AWS Config, CodePipeline, and Guard, our IaC approach ensures every environment is consistent, cost-optimized, and aligned with business goals.
If you're still managing infrastructure manually or dealing with unpredictable environments, now is the time to shift.
Whether you're a growing startup or a scaling enterprise, IaC with AWS CloudFormation isn’t just a technical decision, it’s a business strategy. And we’re here to help you implement it the right way.
Let’s talk about how we can automate your cloud, boost reliability, and accelerate delivery, all with infrastructure that’s versioned, validated, and fully in your control.
