Infrastructure as Code is a DevOps practice where infrastructure (servers, networks, databases) is defined and managed using code, instead of manual processes.

Tools like Terraform, Pulumi, and AWS CloudFormation let teams version-control their infrastructure, automate deployments, and ensure consistent environments across development, staging, and production.

IaC accelerates setup, reduces configuration drift, and enables reproducibility — essential for high-performing DevOps teams. It also supports collaborative workflows, automated testing, and scalable cloud architectures.
