## What is IaC? Infrastructure as Code (IaC) allows you to manage infrastructure with configuration files rather than through a GUI. Terraform is HashiCorp's tool. ## Advantages of IaC Patterns - Terraform can manage infrastructure on multiple cloud platforms. - The human-readable configuration language helps you write infrastructure code quickly. - Terraform's state allows you to track resource changes throughout your deployments. - You can commit your configurations to version control to safely collaborate on infrastructure.
