Software Defined Infrastructure

Article summary

Software-defined infrastructure (SDI) is an approach to managing and provisioning computing infrastructure, such as compute, storage, and networking, through software-based abstractions rather than direct interaction with physical hardware. It builds on virtualization and automation to enable infrastructure to be configured, deployed, and managed programmatically. In cloud-based and software-defined environments, infrastructure is increasingly abstracted from underlying hardware, with greater emphasis on non-functional requirements such as performance and scalability. Despite this abstraction, system behavior remains dependent on the capabilities and limitations of the underlying physical resources.
