Automation of Infrastructure-as-Code Management

Automation in cloud infrastructure management is essential for efficient IT resource handling. The evolution of IT-automation coincides with high-speed Internet, big data, and advanced DevOps tools like IaC monitoring. New optimization trends grow as old automation methods become obsolete. Gartner's 2024 report highlights the demand for automated solutions in provisioning, deployment, debugging, and scaling, with over 30% of enterprises aiming to automate 50% of online interactions and migrate infrastructure to cloud services using tools like Chef, Ansible, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines.This research proposes an automated approach to cloud infrastructure provisioning, scaling, networking, monitoring, and configuration management. The hypothesis suggests benefits in deployment time, standardization, cost reduction, and operational efficiency. The result is a standardized IaC-based framework with Chef, improving scalability and reliability. It also introduces a Terraform module addressing AWS Chef OpsWorks limitations, offering reusable, automated onboarding stacks for consistent cloud configurations.

Green transport solutions in a medium-sized courier company

This paper produces an analysis of the Latvia-based courier delivery company DPD Latvija to determine its possibilities and evaluate sustainable solutions that it has implemented already. The obtained results are used to select suitable green transport solutions using multi-criteria decision making and cost-benefit analysis methods and to develop appropriate recommendations that help to improve the sustainable solutions already used in the company or to introduce new ones.The main green transport solutions covered by the research are the most impactful ones and include switching to electric vehicles, usage of alternative fuels such as CNG, biodiesel and hydrogen cell, and an innovative model of crowdshipping. There are several more solutions covered in the research that can be used to increase a company's contribution to decarbonization.The resulting framework or action plan, can help the company make best investments in implementing green transportation solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and potentially attract new customers. The added value of the work is the opportunity for another Latvian medium-sized courier company to use the proposed framework as a basis for creating its own plan.
