This test post covers how Infrastructure as Code (IaC) improves reliability.

Why IaC matters

IaC makes infrastructure repeatable, versioned, and reviewable in pull requests.

Beginner Workflow

1. Define providers and remote state.
2. Create reusable modules for networks and compute.
3. Run terraform fmt, validate, and plan in CI.
4. Apply only from your pipeline, not local machines.
