Cloud automation refers to the process of using technology to automate the deployment, management, and scaling of applications and infrastructure in a cloud computing environment. This can include tasks such as provisioning and configuring virtual machines, managing storage and networking resources, and deploying and scaling applications.
Cloud automation can be achieved using tools such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Configuration Management tools, and Cloud Management Platforms (CMPs). These tools allow organizations to manage their cloud resources and infrastructure more efficiently and effectively by automating routine and repetitive tasks and providing a unified view of their cloud resources, regardless of their cloud provider.
