How to Manage Cloud Infrastructure Using IaSQL in PostgreSQL

Sep 24, 2021 | Programming

If you’re looking to manage your cloud infrastructure efficiently, then IaSQL could be the solution you’re searching for. IaSQL is an open-source developer tool that allows you to inspect and provision your cloud infrastructure through a PostgreSQL database. With this blog, you’ll learn how to set up and use IaSQL to enhance your cloud management experience.

Getting Started with IaSQL

To begin your journey with IaSQL, head over to the official documentation at iasql.com/docs. The documentation provides step-by-step guidance to help you establish a successful connection between your PostgreSQL database and your AWS account.

How IaSQL Works: An Analogy

Think of IaSQL as a powerful translator between two languages: your PostgreSQL database language and AWS cloud infrastructure language. Imagine a chef (your PostgreSQL database) who speaks a specific culinary language. This chef requires a reliable translator (IaSQL) to understand the recipes (AWS infrastructure commands) given by a cookbook (AWS services) to prepare delicious meals (manage cloud resources). By maintaining a 2-way connection between the chef and the cookbook, IaSQL simplifies the entire cooking process, allowing your chef to work effectively in the cloud kitchen!

Use Cases for IaSQL

Cloud Provider Coverage and Future Plans

Currently, IaSQL primarily focuses on AWS, but the goal is to expand support to GCP, Azure, and other cloud providers in the future. If you have specific AWS services in mind that you would like to see prioritized, don’t hesitate to reach out!

AWS Module Mapping

An IaSQL module roughly corresponds to an AWS service. To view supported modules, navigate to this section of our documentation. Additionally, keep up with upcoming AWS services by checking this link. We welcome suggestions for services not yet listed!
