RBC is tackling the complexities of managing infrastructure in a hybrid cloud setup by implementing a robust Infrastructure as Code (IaC) strategy. This approach focuses on compliance, cost management, and enhancing the developer experience. RBC built a centralized IaC platform that streamlines deployment across public clouds and on-premises environments, allowing for faster, more secure operations while keeping sensitive data in check. By treating infrastructure as a first-class product, RBC aims to create a culture of platform engineering that supports scalability and security. Security is a top priority, particularly in the regulated financial sector. RBC integrates policy-as-code throughout the infrastructure lifecycle to catch compliance issues early, using role-based access controls and pre-deployment scanning tools. This proactive governance reduces the time needed for remediation. Future plans include leveraging AI for real-time policy detection, misconfiguration reasoning, and automated issue resolution. On the operational side, RBC standardized its IaC modules and integrated them with GitOps workflows, promoting consistency across environments. This strategy reduces reliance on individual knowledge and makes infrastructure management accessible to all developers. Custom IaC extensions have been developed to unify on-premises systems, simplifying authentication and ensuring that infrastructure can be treated as code, regardless of the vendor. The results show significant improvements in operational efficiency and security. RBC’s hybrid infrastructure platform operates with centralized workflows and GitOps practices that provide traceability and rollback options. Cost optimization features enhance savings while automated guardrails strengthen security. RBC is now focused on incorporating AI to enable self-healing infrastructure, proactive policy enforcement, and intelligent resource optimization, all aimed at fostering a modern engineering culture within the organization.
