Infrastructure as code - only as good as you make it!

In my current project I work as Infrastructure architect rather than as application architect that I am due to shortage of resources. We had to set up a large Infrastructure based on IBM cloud, using three data centers, bare metal servers, IKS clusters, and various cloud services. Of course, infrastructure as code was set from the beginning, with a gitops repository to store the infrastructure code.

However, what I learned was, that just "infrastructure as code" is not a solution. It's only the beginning!
