What are the common mistakes in Infrastructure as Code (IaC)?

Some common mistakes in IaC include not versioning your code, hardcoding values, and neglecting security best practices.

Can you explain why versioning is important?

Versioning allows you to track changes, roll back to previous states, and collaborate effectively with your team.

What are some security best practices I should follow?

Ensure sensitive data is encrypted, use least privilege access, and regularly audit your configurations.

How can I avoid hardcoding values in my IaC?

Use variables and parameter files to manage configurations dynamically instead of hardcoding them directly.
