Infrastructure as Code (IaC)¶
Infrastructure as Code, aka IaC, is the practice of managing and provisioning infrastructure through machine-readable configuration files rather than manual processes or interactive configuration tools.
Tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, and AWS CloudFormation are commonly used for IaC. PHP applications deployed with IaC benefit from reproducible, version-controlled environments.
PHP developers typically use IaC to define server configurations, container orchestration, and cloud resource provisioning for their applications.
