What is Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) can be summarized in the following points:

1. Definition: IaC is an approach to managing infrastructure resources using code and configuration files.

2. Automation: It involves automating the deployment, configuration, and management of infrastructure components.

3. Code-based: Infrastructure is defined and provisioned using
   declarative or imperative code.

4. Version Control: Infrastructure code can be version-controlled, allowing for easy tracking and collaboration.

5. Consistency: IaC ensures consistent deployment and configuration of infrastructure resources.

6. Scalability: With IaC, infrastructure can be easily scaled up or down to meet changing demands.

7. Tooling: Tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible are commonly used for implementing IaC.

8. Collaboration: IaC promotes collaboration between developers, operations teams, and other stakeholders.

9. Efficiency: Infrastructure provisioning and modifications can be done programmatically, reducing manual effort.

10. Alignment with DevOps: IaC aligns with DevOps principles, enabling agile and efficient infrastructure management.
