What is Infrastructure as Code (IaC)?
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of automating infrastructure provisioning and management using configuration files instead of manual processes. IaC tools like Terraform, Ansible, and AWS CloudFormation allow teams to define servers, networks, databases, and cloud resources in code. This improves consistency, reduces human error, accelerates deployments, and enables version control for infrastructure. IaC supports scalable, reproducible environments across development, staging, and production.
