Infrastructure as Code (IaC) innebär att du definierar och hanterar din infrastruktur (servrar, nätverk, databaser) genom kod/konfigurationsfiler istället för manuell installation. Verktyg som CloudFormation, Terraform och CDK gör infrastrukturen upprepbar, versionskontrollerad och automatiserad.
Problemet som IaC löser
MANUALLY setting up infrastructure (clicking in the Console) is:
→ not REPEATABLE (hard to recreate identically; error-prone)
→ not VERSIONED (no history of what changed, by whom, why)
→ not DOCUMENTED (the setup lives only in someone's memory/clicks)
→ hard to review, share, or roll back
→ IaC defines infrastructure in CODE → solving all of this.
