Infrastructure as Code as a concept is gaining ground in different IT-related circles. It was originally just for IT Infrastructure, but it spread quickly. For instance, Okta announced Terraform support in 2019.

It is also starting to take hold in Device Management and more vendors are starting to support it in their own ways. Zentral.com has supported Terraform for years. Fleet Device Management uses YAML files and deploys them using GitOps. Jamf announced support for Terraform last year. I'm sure there are more.
One of the questions that I keep hearing is "[H]ow do I start if I already have a fully deployed environment?" I attempted to answer that question in https://macadminmusings.com/blog/2026/03/03/from-clickops-to-code-terraforming-a-live-system/. I try to take a high level view and define the steps to take to avoid breaking everything. I hope it helps to guide people onto a path toward success.
