The Rise of Infrastructure as Code in Modern DevOps
Analytics Insight, Wednesday, September 24th, 2025
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has become essential in modern DevOps, enabling teams to define and manage infrastructure with version-controlled configuration files instead of manual setup.
This ensures consistency across environments and accelerates provisioning and deployment. The State of DevSecOps 2024 report from Datadog found that in AWS environments, over 71% of organizations use at least one IaC tool such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.
By integrating IaC into development workflows, teams can better align infrastructure with application lifecycles, enhance reliability, reduce errors, and enforce governance through version history and peer review.
