IaC
(Infrastructure as Code)
Defining computers and networks in code so they can be created and changed automatically and consistently
What's it for?
Lets teams build computer environments from written instructions so the same setup can be recreated reliably.
For example…
A test environment is recreated from the same instructions as production.
A team defines its network, database and servers in Terraform files so the same environment can be rebuilt consistently after a failure
Think of it like…
Programming a robot to build a car to your instructions, rather than assembling the car manually yourself
