Cloud Automation: Automate Cloud Operations

Cloud automation scripts use AWS CLI, Azure CLI, GCP. Automate cloud.

Here's the thing: Cloud scripts automate cloud. Learn patterns. Use them.

AWS CLI​

#!/bin/bash
aws ec2 describe-instances
aws s3 cp file.txt s3://bucket/

My take: AWS CLI automates AWS. Use it.

Common Patterns​

Deploy to Cloud​

deploy_to_aws() {
    aws s3 sync dist/ s3://bucket/
    aws cloudfront create-invalidation --paths "/*"
}

What's Next?​

Now that you understand cloud automation, let's talk about Infrastructure Scripts.

Personal note: Cloud scripts seemed complex at first. Then I learned CLI tools. Now I use them. They're useful. Learn them.
