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.
