What distinguishes "infrastructure as code" (IaC) from traditional manual infrastructure management, and why is this significant at enterprise scale?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is D) IaC defines and provisions infrastructure through machine-readable configuration files, enabling consistent, repeatable, and version-controlled environments instead of error-prone manual setup
Correct Answer
IaC defines and provisions infrastructure through machine-readable configuration files, enabling consistent, repeatable, and version-controlled environments instead of error-prone manual setup
Infrastructure as code lets teams define servers, networks, and other resources in version-controlled configuration files (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation), making environments reproducible, auditable, and far less prone to the inconsistencies and human error of manual configuration — crucial when managing infrastructure at scale.
