'''Infrastructure as code''' ('''IaC''') is the process of managing and provisioning computer [[data center]] [[Resource|resources]] through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical [[
The [[IT infrastructure]] managed by this process comprises both physical equipment, such as [[bare-metal server]]s, as well as [[virtual machine]]s, and associated configuration resources.
The definitions may be in a [[Version Control System|version control system]], rather than maintaining the code through manual processes.

==Methods==
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) allows you to manage servers and their configurations using code. There are two ways to send these configurations to servers: the '[[push technology|push]]' and '[[pull technology|pull]]' methods. In the 'push' method, the system controlling the configuration directly sends instructions to the server. In the 'pull' method, the server retrieves its own instructions from the controlling system
