End-To-End Cloud Infrastructure Automation

Abstract

The dispersed cloud has transformed the ways of organization IT management through flexible provision resources over the internet, therefore changing IT operational models. Automation is considered a key enabler for cloud environments as it helps in the deployment, scalability, development,  testing and production. Consequently, end-to-end automation in cloud infrastructure is researched in this paper where the focused tools are AWS CloudFormation, Puppet, Ansible, Chef, Kubernetes, Terraform, Azure Automation, SaltStack, VCM, CFEngine, and Foreman. It reviews their deployments in various clouds and talks about issues like security and integration difficulties. The goal of this research would be to provide pragmatic knowledge to working IT professionals in order to work on cloud automation technologies more efficiently.
