Abstract:
Infrastructure as Code (IAC) is foundational in DevOps, yet managing changes and rollbacks in multi-cloud contexts remains challenging. This study explores GITOPS-driven IAC versioning strategies using Terraform and Git repositories across Azure, AWS, and GCP. It presents a version control model that supports automated validation, deployment, and rollback. Empirical results from a fintech use case show improved disaster recovery readiness and faster recovery from deployment failures. This paper contributes a structured methodology for enterprise-grade IAC lifecycle management with minimal human intervention.
