title = "Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Principles"

content = """
At Quantum Flux Systems, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the foundation of our operational model. We treat our infrastructure with the same rigor as our application code, applying version control, peer reviews, and automated testing to every change.

**Declarative Configuration:** We prefer declarative tools like Terraform and Pulumi. These tools allow us to define the *desired state* of our infrastructure, leaving the implementation details to the provider. This approach ensures consistency across environments and simplifies the process of tracking changes.

**Idempotency:** Every IaC script must be idempotent, meaning it can be run multiple times without changing the result beyond the initial application. This is crucial for maintaining a stable environment and preventing configuration drift.

**Version Control and Collaboration:** All infrastructure definitions are stored in Git. This provides a clear audit trail of who changed what and when. Changes are introduced via pull requests, requiring approval from at least one other DevOps engineer.

**Automated Testing:** Infrastructure changes are tested in a staging environment before being applied to production. We use tools like `terratest` to verify that the provisioned resources meet our security and performance requirements.

**Modular Design:** We build reusable infrastructure modules to promote consistency and reduce duplication. These modules are versioned and shared across different projects within the studio.
