This paper explores the transformative impact of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) on disaster recovery and business continuity in cloud environments. Infrastructure as Code is defined as the practice of managing and provisioning infrastructure through machine-readable code, facilitating automation, consistency, and scalability. The relevance of IaC in disaster recovery is highlighted, demonstrating how it enhances operational efficiency and resilience by automating key processes such as backup, failover, and restoration. Furthermore, the paper discusses the importance of business continuity, emphasizing IaC’s role in maintaining and quickly restoring critical services. The advantages of using IaC tools and practices to enforce continuity plans are examined, alongside a set of best practices for successful implementation. Ultimately, the paper concludes that adopting Infrastructure as Code is essential for organizations seeking to enhance their disaster recovery and business continuity strategies in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
