What is Infrastructure as Code?
IaC
A method of automating system installations such as server and network by writing code files instead of doing them manually.
Overview
In the past, it used to take days to set up and configure servers manually. With IaC, you write these settings to text files and run them like software. In this way, your system is always set up the same way and errors are minimized.
How it works
Code files specifying system requirements are created and these files are applied to servers by IaC tools.
Where it is used
It is used in cloud computing, management of large-scale systems and continuous release of software.
Frequently asked questions
Why do we write code instead of installing it manually?
Because in manual operations, a small forgotten setting can cause big problems, while the code always gives the same result.
