Enhancing Cloud Marketplace Operations with Infrastructure as Code: DOME - A Case Study

In the realm of cloud infrastructure management, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has become a pivotal framework, catalyzing advancements in modern digital marketplaces. The study at hand delves into the nuanced application of IaC within the Distributed Open Marketplace for Europe (DOME) project. Utilizing the GitOps methodology, complemented by tools such as ArgoCD, Helm, Kustomize, and Bitnami Sealed Secrets, this project achieves heightened levels of operational efficacy, scalability, and security. The empirical analysis underscores that IaC not only simplifies the provisioning and administration of infrastructure assets but also fosters operational consistency and agility. This establishes a robust blueprint for deploying dependable cloud and edge services throughout Europe.
