1. Introduction & Overview<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

What is Infrastructure as Code (IaC)?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable definition files, rather than through physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools. This includes automating servers, networks, databases, and application infrastructure setup using code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

History and Background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Early Days<\/strong>: Traditional infrastructure relied on manual provisioning using GUI tools or command-line interfaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Rise of Automation<\/strong>: Configuration management tools like Puppet<\/strong> (2005), Chef<\/strong> (2009), and Ansible<\/strong> (2012) laid the foundation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Modern Era<\/strong>: Declarative tools like Terraform<\/strong> and CloudFormation<\/strong> elevated IaC by providing complete infrastructure orchestration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Why IaC is Relevant in DevSecOps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Speed & Efficiency<\/strong>: Rapid and repeatable infrastructure deployments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Security as Code<\/strong>: Embed security configurations and policies into code.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Auditability<\/strong>: All changes are traceable through version control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Consistency<\/strong>: Eliminates drift between environments (dev, staging, production).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Shift-Left Security<\/strong>: Apply security checks early in the CI\/CD pipeline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      2. Core Concepts & Terminology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Term<\/th>Definition<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
      Declarative IaC<\/td>Specifies what<\/em> the desired state should be (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).<\/td><\/tr>
      Imperative IaC<\/td>Specifies how<\/em> to achieve the desired state step by step (e.g., Ansible).<\/td><\/tr>
      Idempotency<\/td>Running the same code multiple times produces the same result.<\/td><\/tr>
      Drift Detection<\/td>Identifying discrepancies between actual and expected infrastructure state.<\/td><\/tr>
