Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a way of managing your infrastructure like it was code. This gives you all the benefits of using code to create your infrastructure, like version control, faster and safer infrastructure deployments across different environments, and having up to date documentation of your infrastructure.

The article will cover how infrastructure as code works using an analogy. We'll cover the different infrastructure as code tools available as well as declarative vs imperative code

I'll also introduce you to Terraform, which is an open source infrastructure as code tool you can use to create infrastructure across multiple cloud providers like AWS, GCP, Azure and others.
