Introduction to Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Understand the basics of IaC for efficient, consistent cloud infrastructure management.
In this introductory lesson, we will focus on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and explore why it is crucial for managing modern cloud-based applications. To start, let's break down the concept of IaC using an analogy to help illustrate its importance.
Imagine we are constructing a building. Traditionally, we would create a blueprint detailing the design and components of the building, such as the layout, materials, and structural features. The blueprint acts as a guide for construction, ensuring that the building is built accurately, efficiently, and according to the plan.
