Explanation

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of managing and provisioning infrastructure (servers, networks, storage) through machine-readable configuration files rather than manual processes. It applies software development engineering practices - such as version control, automated testing, code review, and CI/CD pipelines - to infrastructure management. This enables repeatability, consistency, and scalability. It does not refer to manual configuration (opposite of IaC), nor is it simply about applying 'new practices' - it specifically bridges the gap between dev and ops by treating infrastructure like code.
