Infrastructure as Code
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Definition
Infrastructure as Code is the practice of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable configuration files rather than manual processes. It applies software engineering practices to infrastructure management.
Why It Matters
IaC eliminates configuration drift, enables reproducible environments, and reduces provisioning time from days to minutes. It's essential for modern cloud-native operations.
