Managing computing infrastructure with code instead of manual setup — the AWS definition.
AWS defines Infrastructure as Code (IaC) as "the ability to provision and support your computing infrastructure using code instead of manual processes and settings."
IaC (with tools such as Terraform or AWS CloudFormation) is a core practice in DevOps and cloud engineering — it makes infrastructure repeatable and reviewable like software.
