How Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Transforms DevOps Workflows
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) plays a critical role in modern DevOps workflows, providing automation, consistency, and scalability. Learn how IaC enhances productivity, accelerates deployments, and strengthens collaboration between development and operations teams.
What is Infrastructure as Code (IaC)?
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable configuration files rather than through manual processes. It enables developers and operations teams to automate the setup, configuration, and management of servers, networks, databases, and other infrastructure resources in a reproducible and scalable manner.
IaC is a key enabler of the DevOps methodology, helping teams adopt best practices for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). It allows infrastructure to be treated in the same way as application code, making it possible to manage and version control environments more effectively. By doing so, IaC empowers DevOps teams to maintain high consistency and eliminate potential errors that arise from manual processes.
