Infrastructure as code (IaC)
The IaC concept applies the principles of agile development for the provision and operation of IT infrastructure. Systems are detached from physical hardware. Provision and maintenance is left to the software and manual work is no longer necessary. Changes are now possible within minutes, often even seconds. This reduces the risk and the costs. Solution can be deployed and can get to market faster with more confidence.
