Automating Infrastructure Platforms with Cloud, Kubernetes, and Site Reliability Engineering
Automating Infrastructure Platforms with Cloud, Kubernetes, and Site Reliability Engineering
International Journal of Computer Techniques – Volume 8 Issue 6, November 2021
Abstract
The automation of **infrastructure platforms** is central to modern enterprise computing. This paper explores the **convergence of cloud computing, Kubernetes orchestration, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)** as fundamental pillars driving **scalable, resilient automation strategies**. Key methodologies include **Infrastructure as Code (IaC), GitOps workflows, observability-driven feedback loops, and policy-as-code integration**.
Keywords
Cloud Computing, Kubernetes, Infrastructure Automation, Site Reliability Engineering, Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, Policy-as-Code.
Conclusion
The study highlights the role of **declarative APIs, automation primitives, and intelligent observability** in shaping **cloud-native infrastructure**. Future advancements in **control-plane extensibility and feedback-driven automation** will further accelerate the transformation of **enterprise computing platforms**.
