Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Scripts and servers, clicking one by one
Manual magic until the damage is done
Snowflake systems, each machine unique
Configuration drift makes infrastructure weak
But there's a better way to architect your dreams
Infrastructure as Code transforms your schemes

[Chorus]
Declare don't script, state your intent
Version your servers like development
Git tracks your changes, rollback with ease
Infrastructure as Code brings systems to peace
Declare don't script, immutable and clean
The future of ops is version-controlled machines

[Verse 2]
Imperative style says "do this, then that"
Step by step commands like a deployment chat
But declarative speaks in desired end states
"Here's what I want" and the engine creates
Terraform whispers "this is how it should be"
While Ansible shouts "execute commands for me"

[Chorus]
Declare don't script, state your intent
Version your servers like development
Git tracks your changes, rollback with ease
Infrastructure as Code brings systems to peace
Declare don't script, immutable and clean
The future of ops is version-controlled machines

[Bridge]
Pull requests for your load balancers
Code reviews for security groups
Diff your databases, merge your networks
Test environments in continuous loops
No more midnight calls from broken deployments
Infrastructure testing prevents disappointments

[Verse 3]
Cattle not pets, provision and destroy
Reproducible environments you can redeploy
Configuration files replacing human touch
Disaster recovery doesn't hurt as much
When your infrastructure lives in repository form
Collaboration flows and knowledge transforms

[Chorus]
Declare don't script, state your intent
Version your servers like development
Git tracks your changes, rollback with ease
Infrastructure as Code brings systems to peace
Declare don't script, immutable and clean
The future of ops is version-controlled machines

[Outro]
From cloud formation to kubernetes yaml
Infrastructure poetry in digital style
Treat your servers like the code you write
Version controlled infrastructure takes flight
