infrastructure as code

I am beginning my journey in developing my cloud knowledge and this week I have decided to take on a project which will leverage terraform to manage my cloud provider services. Infrastructure as code is exactly what its name is. It is your cloud infrastructure components declared and managed by code. This concept was wild for me to comprehend because you can write code to set up machines with a specified resources and you cloud provider will set it up. This is one of the things that has blown my mind in the beginning of my career.
