Why each option
Infrastructure as Code ensures consistency across environments and reduces risk by making infrastructure changes repeatable, traceable, and less prone to manual errors.
While IaC is a prerequisite and often integrated into Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) pipelines, IaC itself doesn't *enable* CI; rather, CI is a practice that can leverage IaC.
'Management control' is a broad term; while IaC provides *versioned* and *auditable* control over infrastructure, 'consistency' and 'risk reduction' are more direct and specific benefits.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) defines infrastructure in machine-readable files, ensuring that the same configuration can be deployed repeatedly to different environments, guaranteeing consistency and eliminating configuration drift caused by manual processes.
IaC focuses on provisioning and managing infrastructure, not directly improving application monitoring, though it can provision monitoring tools.
By automating infrastructure provisioning and management, IaC reduces the likelihood of human error, provides version control for infrastructure changes, and enables faster disaster recovery, all of which significantly reduce operational risks.
