Today, there are two broad classifications of computer systems Automation and Orchestration - those that fall under the [[Kubernetes]] realm and those that can be classified as major cloud vendor's products. Of course there is crossover among them. Another way to broadly distinguish between the various automation solutions is whether they are primarily concerned with provisioning resources, or applications and operations. In this sense, HashiCorp's Terraform is the classic tool for provisioning cloud resources, while Ansible is the tool for provisioning '''applications''' and managing "Day 2" operations like security, configuration, and software updates on those provisioned resources. | Today, there are two broad classifications of computer systems Automation and Orchestration - those that fall under the [[Kubernetes]] realm and those that can be classified as major cloud vendor's products.
