The plethora of Cloud hosting capabilities and platforms gives rise to the challenge of automatically managing complex Cloud infrastructure. Manual administration of infrastructure in the Cloud, similar to the approach used by traditional IT infrastructure, is not feasible due to Cloud services’ short lifecycle. It is fast to spin up a server, but more often than not, it has to be decommissioned rapidly too. Furthermore, excessive manual administration is prone to human error, employee fatigue, and boredom.

Several solutions have already been established as industry Best Practices. Buzzwords such as Infrastructure-as-Code, Policy-as-Code, and Everything-as-Code are already being implemented in startups and enterprises. When utilising the Cloud, one must dive deeply into these concepts that fall into the realm of DevSecOps.
