Cloud Infrastructure Automation Through IaC (Infrastructure as Code)
Cloud computing has emerged as a key force in the IT sector, allowing businesses to take use of the cloud's scalability and cost-effectiveness to satisfy their IT requirements. When compared to the traditional on-premise method, companies that use cloud services can benefit from higher efficiency, dependability, and agility, as well as lower operational expenses and improved security. In spite of all the benefits, configuring cloud services may be a difficult and time-consuming procedure, especially when done manually. As a solution to the mentioned challenges, the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) was introduced. IaC has revolutionised the way organisations approach IT. Organisations may gain improved efficiency, dependability, and agility by exploiting the cloud's scalability and cost-effectiveness, as well as automating the provisioning, configuration, and administration of infrastructure with different IaC tools. However, using cloud and IaC can also present challenges, including complexity, collaboration, versioning, testing, security, integration, and automation. This paper discusses the overview of cloud computing and IaC. Explores the benefits and challenges of using these technologies. Concludes by emphasising the importance of careful planning and execution when using cloud and IaC, in order to maximise the benefits while minimising the difficulties
