Description: Infrastructure as code (IaC) has transformed how infrastructure is provisioned and configured, enabling organizations to adopt agile development across their entire stack. With IaC, you can easily manage, configure, update, secure, and scale your infrastructure via imperative or declarative configuration files. When leveraged at scale, IaC addresses notorious cloud challenges, such as scalability, availability, configuration consistency, and right-sized infrastructure architecture for your applications. And while an IaC-based approach to cloud-native development brings significant benefits, it can introduce some unique security challenges.
