What Is Environment as Code (EaaC)?

Feb 28, 2025 By Alin Dobra In Bunnyshell
If you're familiar with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), you already know how defining your infrastructure in declarative files can streamline deployments, reduce errors, and foster reproducibility. Environment as Code (EaaC) takes this concept further. Instead of just defining virtual machines, networks, and storage, EaaC encapsulates the entire environment-including services, configurations, and dependencies-so you can spin up, manage, and tear down complete environments easily. Think of EaaC as the next level of IaC.
