Infrastructure as Code Fundamentals
Understand Infrastructure as Code: defining servers, networks, and services in version-controlled files instead of clicking through consoles, and the principles that make it reliable.
What is Infrastructure as Code?
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) means describing your infrastructure - servers, networks, load balancers - in machine-readable files that are versioned and applied automatically, instead of manual setup.
The Problem It Solves
Manual, click-driven setup leads to configuration drift: environments slowly diverge and nobody remembers why. IaC makes infrastructure reproducible, reviewable, and recoverable.
