What is the main task addressed by applying the concept of infrastructure as code?

The main goal of the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) concept is to automate and standardize the process of creating, configuring, and managing infrastructure through code.

This allows:

• Rapid and repeatable deployment of infrastructure without manual errors.
• Versioning and tracking changes to infrastructure just like application code.
• Ensuring consistency across environments (e.g., development, testing, production).
• Improving scalability and manageability of infrastructure.

Examples of IaC tools include Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation, which allow describing infrastructure declaratively and applying these descriptions automatically.
