Description: A provisioning script is an essential tool in cloud development, designed to automate the resource provisioning process in a computing environment. These scripts allow developers and system administrators to define and manage infrastructure programmatically, facilitating the creation, configuration, and deployment of resources such as servers, databases, and networks. By using scripting languages like Bash, Python, or specific tools like Terraform and Ansible, provisioning scripts enable repeatability and consistency in environment configuration, reducing the risk of human error and improving operational efficiency. Additionally, they are fundamental to implementing DevOps practices, where continuous integration and delivery are key to agile development. The ability to version these scripts also allows for better control over changes in infrastructure, facilitating collaboration among teams and configuration management over time.
