Framework-defined infrastructure

Framework-defined infrastructure (FdI) is an evolution of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), where the deployment environment automatically provisions infrastructure derived from the framework and the applications written in it. FdI abstracts over cloud primitives, making them mere implementation details of the framework's concepts, providing portability between different target infrastructure providers, eliminating manual configuration, increasing time spent writing product code, allowing unchanged use of native local development tools, and standardizing on pre-reviewed secure services. FdI takes advantage of inversion of control and predictable structure of framework-based applications to automatically map framework concepts onto the appropriate infrastructure without explicit declaration or configuration of the infrastructure.
