What is Infrastructure as Code?

These days, it's increasingly crucial to automate your infrastructure as applications can be deployed into production up to hundreds of times per day.

Check out this lightboard video with Sai Vennam from IBM Cloud as he breaks down what Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is, the difference between an imperative and declarative approach, the difference between mutable vs. immutable infrastructure, and how each approach impacts your dev environment.

For those, like me, that are not using the lingo, here are some of the meanings of the abbreviations that Sai use. I may not have found the correct ones, please ping me if there is something that should be changed.

VM - Virtual Machine
VPC - Virtual Private Cloud
CLI - Command Line Interface
VPN - Virtual Privet Network
VPS - Virtual Private Server
VPC - Virtual Private Cloud
DevOps - development and operations

I am studying for Cisco DevNet certification exam, and the exam blue print covers Infrastructure as a Code.

Your explanation is very simple and now I know what is Infrastructure as a Code.

Thank you!

Declarative and immutable are the only way.
