Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Automate infrastructure provisioning and management using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation for consistent and repeatable deployments.
What is Infrastructure as Code?
Welcome to Infrastructure as Code (IaC)! This lesson explores how to manage and provision your infrastructure using code, rather than manual processes.
Think of it like writing a program for your servers, networks, and databases. It's a fundamental practice in modern DevOps and cloud-native development.
Why Automate Infrastructure?
Manually setting up infrastructure is slow, error-prone, and inconsistent. IaC solves these problems!
- Speed: Deploy entire environments in minutes.
- Consistency: Identical setups every time, avoiding 'configuration drift'.
- Version Control: Track changes, collaborate, and revert easily.
- Cost Savings: Optimize resource usage by defining exactly what you need.
