Mastering IaC and Secret Scanning: An Ultra-Extensive Guide to Secure, Automated Infrastructure Management

Modern software delivery demands not only fast application releases but also secure, consistent, and auditable infrastructure deployments. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) addresses these needs by treating infrastructure definitions (servers, networks, databases) as version-controlled code, enabling reproducible setups and minimal configuration drift. However, IaC definitions can also become a liability if secrets—passwords, API keys, or tokens—leak…
