AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR MANAGING HIGH-AVAILABILITY CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH INFRASTRUCTURE-ASCODE (IAC) PRACTICES

Abstract

The study introduces a framework of automated management of cloud infrastructures that are of high-availability with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). The framework combines IaCs, such as Terraform and AWS CloudFormation with automated monitoring and failover to make use of cloud environments scalable, fault-tolerant, and possessing rapid recovery. The important key performance indicators are uptime, recovery time, CPU usage and network latency that are used to compare the manual and automated systems. The findings show considerable enhancement in the reliability, resource use and recovery efficiency. The paper places emphasis on the future that IaC and automation hold in streamlining cloud infrastructure to support high-availability.
