It also covers ephemeral infrastructure, immutable delivery, and the tools that enable these practices. </p> <hr> <h2 id="infrastructure-as-code">Infrastructure as Code</h2> <p>Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of describing infrastructure in an executable textual format. This approach ensures consistency and reproducibility by automating the configuration and management of infrastructure.</p> <h3 id="key-tools">Key Tools</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Configuration Management Systems</strong>: Tools like Ansible, Puppet, and Chef allow you to describe and maintain infrastructure as code.</li> <li><strong>Version Control</strong>: Storing IaC in version control systems provides a history of changes and ensures consistency.</li> </ul> <hr> <h2 id="ephemeral-infrastructure">Ephemeral Infrastructure</h2> <p>Ephemeral infrastructure refers to transient systems that exist only as long as needed. This approach reduces costs and improves efficiency.</p>
