Infrastructure as Code (IaC): The practice of managing and provisioning IT infrastructure using code and automated processes. It is commonly used in cloud computing environments to ensure that infrastructure can be quickly and consistently deployed, managed, and updated. For example, an IaC system might use scripts and configuration files to automatically spin up new servers, configure security settings, and deploy applications in a cloud environment.
