Could someone explain what Infrastructure as Code (IaC) actually means? But I’m curious about how it’s helpful, especially in AWS.

IaC is the process of managing and automating IT infrastructure through code instead of manually. Think of writing instructions on how you want things set up, like servers, networks, and databases, but you're doing it through code.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is helpful because:

  • Cost reduction: It reduces costs because it automates the management of the infrastructure, thus saving time and money.

  • Risk reduction: With code, it reduces human error risks because infrastructure configuration can be the same and uniform.

  • Higher productivity: Developers can focus more on application development rather than doing all this very time-consuming and hard work manually for different infrastructure configurations.

  • Ease of cloud migration: IaC facilitates the transition to cloud environments by removing the tediousness of manual configurations and scaling.

Using IaC, firms manage their infrastructure more effectively, as it reduces the chances of human error.
