'''Infrastructure as Code''' ('''IaC''') is the process of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure (processes, bare-metal servers, virtual servers, etc.) and their configuration through machine-processable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration or the use of interactive configuration tools.<ref name="AWS in Action, IaC" /> This has been achieved previously through either scripts or declarative definitions, rather than manual processes, but developments as specifically titled 'IaC' are now focussed on the declarative approaches.
