Infrastructure as code (IaC) is a methodology that involves managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable script files, rather than through physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools. In essence, it treats infrastructure -such as servers, networks, and databases- as code, allowing it to be versioned, tested, and deployed with the same practices used for application code.
