The purpose of infrastructure as code is to enable developers or operations teams to automatically manage, monitor, and provision resources, rather than manually configure discrete hardware devices and operating systems. Infrastructure as code is sometimes referred to as programmable or software-defined infrastructure.

The next layer is operating system platforms, what flavor of Linux, what version of Windows etc. The third principle is that the interface to a platform should be driven by the users of the platform.
