Overview

Different types of infrastructure resources are pieces that are composed by infrastructure as code to provide the infrastructure foundation for software system. In a cloud environment, infrastructure is no longer represented by hardware, but by virtual constructs like servers, subnets and block devices. The hardware still exists, but infrastructure elements accessible to users "float" across it and can be manipulated by APIs.

Application

Application Runtime

An application runtime is assembled from infrastructure resources. The runtime instance may include servers, clusters and serverless execution environments.

Infrastructure Platform

Infrastructure Resources

Compute, network, storage. Infrastructure resources are assembled to provide application runtime instances.

Infrastructure Services

Infrastructure Stack

  • Stack integration point.

Environment

Cloud

NIST definition: https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/nist-cloud-computing-program-nccp

Containers

Cluster

Cluster as code.

Server

Serverless Execution Environment

Organizatorium

  • Integration points
