365 Explained - 005 - Infrastructure as Code

Don’t worry if you don’t know your IaC from your elbow, neither did Ben or Zach when they started recording! Thankfully, Elliott Woodruff, Principal Architect at Synextra, was onboard to help make sense of it all for us!

In this episode, we explore:

• What Infrastructure as Code actually means in Azure and M365
• The differences between Bicep, ARM, and Terraform (and when to use each)
• Real-world use cases, risks, and a few horror stories
• How IaC can help standardise tenant setups and improve security
• Why AI and Copilot might soon be writing your deployment scripts

Whether you're IaC-curious or already knee-deep in Terraform state files, this one’s packed with practical insights, honest takes, and a few cautionary tales.
