What exactly is IaC?

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) means managing your IT stuff like computers, networks, and services using special text files stored in a safe place, just like how you store your code on GitHub or GitLab. These files are like magic recipes that, when followed, create the exact same IT setup every time.

Think of it as a super helpful tool for speeding up and simplifying how you set up and control your computer systems. Instead of doing things manually or typing lots of complicated commands, you can let IaC do the heavy lifting for you. It's like taking your IT teamwork to a whole new level! It makes things faster, cheaper, and less risky when setting up your computer systems. Automation is the name of the game!
