Infrastructure As Code:

Infrastructure as Code (IAC) is a type of IT infrastructure that operations teams can automatically manage and provision through code, rather than using a manual process. Infrastructure as Code is sometimes referred to as programmable infrastructure.

With the advent of IAC, the line between a developer and a sysops guy is getting blurred. 

There are multiple tools available, like – Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Saltstack etc.

This methodology aims at bringing the Dev and the Ops part of the organization together to release good quality software in time. If you understand the key concepts of this methodology, you will be able to provide better solutions to various business problems.

Whenever developers and operations staff communicate with each other clearly, they not only develop and release software in time with good quality but can also help market the application with lower costs and better quality.
