Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

The practice of managing and provisioning infrastructure through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools.

IaC allows data engineers to treat their infrastructure (S3 buckets, EC2 nodes, Snowflake warehouses) exactly like their application code. This enables version control, automated testing, and repeatable deployments.
