The concept of infrastructure as code (IaC) has gained significant traction in recent years, particularly with the use of tools like HashiCorp Terraform. IaC involves defining and managing infrastructure through code, rather than manually configuring it. This approach simplifies code testing, provides repeatability, and enables teams to reuse components across different projects. IaC can be applied throughout the infrastructure lifecycle, from initial build to ongoing updates and changes, making it easier to provision and apply configurations, understand intent, and manage reliability, manageability, and scalability. By adopting IaC tools like Terraform, organizations can mitigate risks associated with poor management decisions, reduce inconsistencies, and ensure consistency and repeatability in infrastructure deployment.
