IaC

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) treats infrastructure tasks as software development, focusing on efficiency and reliability.

Core Principles:​

  1. Declarative Configuration: Defines infrastructure in code for easier management and collaboration.
  2. Automation: Reduces manual tasks, errors, and speeds up deployments.
  3. Version Control: Tracks changes, ensures consistency, and enables rollback.
  4. Modularity and Reusability: Encourages reusable code for easier management of complex deployments.
  5. Immutable Infrastructure: Treats components as immutable for reliability and reproducibility.
  6. Infrastructure Testing: Validates configurations for correctness and reliability.
  7. Continuous Improvement: Emphasizes iterative development and optimization for increased agility.

In essence, IaC enables scalable, reliable, and maintainable infrastructure deployments by leveraging automation, versioning, modularity, and continuous improvement.
