cloud automation
The use of software tools and scripts to automate the provisioning, management, and optimization of cloud resources and services, reducing manual intervention and improving efficiency.
Cloud automation refers to the use of software, scripts, and orchestration platforms to automate the deployment, configuration, scaling, and management of cloud resources. By minimizing manual processes, cloud automation accelerates service delivery, enhances consistency, and reduces the risk of human error in complex cloud environments.
Automation tools can manage infrastructure as code (IaC), monitor resource utilization, enforce security policies, and trigger automated responses to events or performance thresholds. This approach is essential for supporting DevOps practices, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), and self-healing cloud architectures.
Organizations leveraging cloud automation benefit from improved operational efficiency, cost savings, and the ability to rapidly adapt to changing business needs in dynamic cloud ecosystems.
