IaC
A practice of defining and managing IT infrastructure through code. Server, network, and other infrastructure configurations are stored as declarative code in version control systems, enabling consistent and repeatable infrastructure provisioning.

IaC refers to defining and managing cloud resources with declarative configuration files rather than manual console operations, with typical representatives including Terraform, CloudFormation, and Pulumi; the key change it brings is that the true state of the cloud environment exists simultaneously in cloud resources and in code repository templates, which can produce configuration drift.
For cloud security remediation, a single finding often requires fixing both the live resource and the IaC template, otherwise the next deployment will bring the problem back.
ai-workspace-infra covers multi-cloud infrastructure, GitOps, IaC, deployment, and observability.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) describes and automates the deployment of cloud infrastructure using code (such as AWS CloudFormation or Terraform), making environments reproducible and version-controllable.
Security configuration review of agent-generated IaC results—such as IAM least-privilege permissions and network isolation policies—still requires human oversight.
According to official AWS disclosure, using this framework compresses IaC development time from weeks to minutes.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) refers to using declarative or imperative code files to define and manage cloud resources, rather than manually operating through a console.
In IaC and GitOps practices, the Git repository is treated as the Single Source of Truth.
Agents should be made to generate infrastructure-as-code (IaC) rather than directly creating cloud resources, in order to avoid bypassing governance processes and producing ghost resources that are difficult to track.
Many enterprises rely on tools such as Ansible and Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) management.
