Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable definition files, rather than through physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools. This cluster teaches learners how to implement IaC to automate the setup and management of IT infrastructure, enabling consistency, scalability, and repeatability. By mastering IaC, professionals can streamline operations, reduce errors, and enhance infrastructure management efficiency.

This cluster is ideal for DevOps engineers, IT professionals, and systems administrators. Practical outcomes include automated infrastructure provisioning, improved configuration management, and reduced operational overhead.

Learners will explore IaC tools and techniques such as Terraform, Ansible, and AWS CloudFormation. Tools like version control systems, configuration management databases (CMDBs), and automation platforms will be covered to help learners implement and manage infrastructure as code effectively.
