Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable configuration files rather than manual processes. Tools like Terraform, Ansible, and AWS CloudFormation let DevOps and platform engineers version, automate, and repeatably deploy infrastructure. It improves consistency, reduces human error, and enables faster, auditable infrastructure changes.
