Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a core principle in DevOps that emphasizes treating infrastructure setup and management as code. By defining infrastructure configurations in a human-readable, declarative format, IaC tools such as Terraform and AWS CloudFormation automate environment provisioning, management, and teardown. IaC ensures consistency, reduces manual errors, and allows for versioning and collaboration, enabling infrastructure to be replicated and deployed across multiple environments with precision.
