Problem Statement
What are the key principles that guide Infrastructure as Code design?
Explanation
The key principles of Infrastructure as Code include declarative definition, idempotency, immutability, modularity, and version control. Declarative definitions describe the desired end state of infrastructure. Idempotency ensures consistency across repeated executions. Immutability reduces configuration drift by replacing rather than mutating infrastructure. Modularity promotes reuse and maintainability. Finally, version control ensures traceability and collaboration across teams.
