What Is the Connection Between Infrastructure as Code & Policy as Code?
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Policy as Code (PaC) are two important trends in the field of IT operations. IaC is the practice of provisioning, configuring, and managing infrastructure using code, while PaC is the practice of managing policies using code.
