Context
The rise of cloud providers has made it easier to provide, configure, and orchestrate infrastructure because you don’t have to buy the underlying hardware components to access it. Infrastructure is provided as a service, so providing and configuring it manually makes it difficult to replicate high availability configurations or prepare disaster recovery mechanisms. This can waste time and increase the likelihood of errors. Infrastructure automation is the answer. Infrastructure automation is the alternative to manually provisioning, configuring, and orchestrating your infrastructure in both cloud and on-premises environments. Automating these tasks reduces the manual interactions engineers have with IT systems, making the process repeatable, less error-prone, highly available, and capable of easily building disaster-recovery mechanisms.

Analysis
Also read: Computer Automation: Pioneering solutions in industrial automation Infrastructure is automated in various ways, and it is usually done in several steps. Step 1: Infrastructure provisioning The primary consideration is taking care of your infrastructure provisioning. This can be done through CLI automation, scripting through different SDKs, or IaC frameworks — which is the recommended way because it helps with the lifecycle management of your infrastructure resources.
Key Points
- Infrastructure automation is an alternative to manually configuring and orchestrating infrastructure in cloud and on-premises environments.
- The benefits of infrastructure automation are mainly reliability, repeatability, and reduced cost of evaluating and resolving errors.
Actions
