Finally, the paper draws conclusions and gives some future research perspectives.More specifically, the objective is to identify, analyze and interpret all available evidence from primary studies related to four specific research questions which involve the review, planning, conducting, and reporting stages, as suggested by the PRISMA methodology. More than 100 articles in the latest years are surveyed and thus a current, justified state of the art is presented hereby.8enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessconference output10.1109/ICSA-C54293.2022.00048CybersecurityGeneration of IaC codeInfrastructure as Code (IaC)Modelling approachesParsersSystematic Literature Review (SLR)Hardware and ArchitectureSoftwareSafety, Risk, Reliability and Qualityhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85132186088&partnerID=8YFLogxK
