I've done IaC is various forms over a decade and I believe the term does more harm than good.
It's not "Infrastructure", and it's not really "Code" either. "Infrastructure Configuration as Text" perhaps would be more descriptive. Or just stick with the samewhat older term "Configuration Management".
These days, however, it's not really in vogue. Nobody thinks they need it anymore. They have Kubernetes and containers now. When you ask enough questions about how those are managed, it usually turns out some state is being managed somewhere outside of version control. I believe the pendulum will swing back in time, but in the meantime there will be K8s on my resume, not IaC.
