In this episode, we dive into The New Stack’s article “Why CI/CD Alone Won’t Cut It for Infrastructure as Code” — and we’ve got thoughts. We share personal stories from our time working with CI/CD pipelines across different roles, and explore what really works when it comes to deploying infrastructure safely and effectively.

We break down where we agree (and disagree) with the author, chat about the hidden challenges of applying traditional CI/CD to Infrastructure as Code, and share real-world examples of how things can go wrong — and how to make them right.

Plus, we talk about the tools, workflows, and cultural practices that can help teams treat IaC with the care and structure it deserves.
