Description: Provisioning is the process of preparing and equipping a network to allow users to access and utilize services. This process involves configuring hardware, software, and networks to ensure that resources are available and accessible efficiently. In the context of general computing and networking, provisioning refers to the creation and management of resources, such as servers, storage, and networks, in an automated and scalable manner. This allows organizations to respond quickly to changing market demands and optimize their resource usage. Provisioning can be manual or automated, with the latter being more common in modern environments where infrastructure as code (IaC) tools are used to facilitate the deployment and management of resources. Additionally, provisioning may include configuring security policies, identity and access management, and integrating monitoring and observability services to ensure that resources are functioning correctly and securely.
