Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

IaC manages infrastructure through code rather than manual processes, using tools like Terraform.

Definition

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of managing and provisioning datacenter infrastructure through machine-readable code, rather than manual configuration or hardware-specific scripts. Popular IaC tools: (1) Terraform — multi-cloud, declarative, (2) Ansible — configuration management, (3) Pulumi — IaC with real programming languages, (4) CloudFormation — AWS-specific. Benefits: (1) Reproducibility — same config every time, (2) Version control — track changes, (3) Automation — no manual errors, (4) Documentation — code is documentation. Harch Corp supports Terraform and Pulumi for GPU cloud provisioning.
