Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a key practice within DevOps that involves managing and provisioning computer data centers through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools. This approach enables developers and IT operations teams to automatically manage, monitor, and provision resources, thereby reducing manual processes and improving the efficiency and reliability of infrastructure deployments.
