Cloud Computing — Cloud Automation and DevOps

Automation in cloud computing helps speed up development and reduce manual work by automating repetitive tasks like deployments, updates, and scaling. DevOps combines development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams to work together efficiently using automation tools. Popular DevOps tools include Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Terraform. Cloud providers also offer services like AWS CodePipeline and Azure DevOps to manage continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD). Automation ensures faster, more reliable software releases and better collaboration between teams.

Example: A software company uses automated pipelines to deploy new app features directly to production without downtime.
