Infrastructure as Code or IaC is the process of provisioning and managing infrastructure defined through code, instead of doing so with a manual process.

Infrastructure as code brings a lot of advantages into the network operation:

• Reducing shadow IT within organizations and allowing timely and efficient infrastructure changes
• Integrating directly with CI/CD platforms
• Enabling version-controlled infrastructure and configuration changes leading to trackable configurations
• Standardizing infrastructure with reproducible configurations
• Effectively managing configurating drift and keeping infrastructure and configurations in their desired state
• Having the ability to easily scale up infrastructure as automation eliminates the need for manual configurations
