Description: A repository for infrastructure as code is a storage location for the code and templates used in the management and provisioning of IT infrastructure through code. This approach allows development and operations teams to define and manage infrastructure programmatically, facilitating automation and consistency in resource deployment. Repositories can be cloud-based or on-premises and often use version control systems like Git to track changes and collaborations. Storing infrastructure as code in a repository enables teams to version, review, and audit infrastructure similarly to how software applications are managed. This not only improves traceability and collaboration but also allows for the reuse of templates and configurations, saving time and reducing errors. Additionally, infrastructure as code repositories are essential for implementing DevOps practices, as they enable continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) of infrastructure, aligning development and operations in a more agile and efficient software lifecycle.
