Infrastructure as Code (IAC) facilitates modeling, provisioning and lifecycle management of IT Infrastructure resources consistently by treating them as code.
On AWS, the primary Infrastructure as Code service is CloudFormation. If you can define an architecure consisting of AWS resources, you can model and provision the resources on AWS using CloudFormation templates.

Mesosphere DC/OS on AWS
AWS provides all the infrastructure to satisfy your corporate datacenter needs, such as EC2 Virtual Machines, ECS (Elastic Container Service), EKS (Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes) and a plethora of supporting services, so that you can containerize and deploy your applications/microservices using CI/CD (Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment) DevOps pipelines, on AWS.
When your data center is operating at the level of 10’s of nodes/machines, DevOps tools such as Chef, Puppet, Ansible and SaltStack will serve you well. Beyond that level, you will need the next level of tooling to abstract the entire datacenter into a single pool of computing resources, for better management. Enter Mesosphere DC/OS datacenter operating system, built on top of the Apache Mesos open-source distributed systems kernel.

Hybrid Cloud Architecture
For lots of organizations, on-premises infrastructure has to seamlessly integrate with resources deployed on the cloud - hence the need for Hybrid Cloud Architecutre.
For these organizations, along with on-premises resources, cloud resources could be deployed for various reasons such as backup and disaster recovery, expansion of on-premises data center capacity or to utlize new technical capabailities available on the cloud.
