Summary

Loïs Postula’s Infrastructure as Raclette argues that infrastructure should be provisioned with future change in mind, using a raclette-cheese metaphor to illustrate proactive hard-to-change layers. The piece contrasts the ease of provisioning now with the high cost of retrofit later, and applies these ideas to both physical and digital infrastructure, advocating for bigger conduits and redundancy where it counts. It concludes that the cost-of-change curve, not immediate utilization, should drive infrastructure decisions, and that Terraform cannot fix everything hidden inside walls and floors.
