Cloud-based infrastructure automation using DevOps has become a cornerstone of modern software development and IT operations, enabling organizations to achieve faster delivery, improved scalability, and enhanced system reliability. This study explores how DevOps practices, combined with cloud computing, facilitate automated provisioning, configuration, deployment, and management of infrastructure. It highlights the role of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, and Ansible in defining and managing infrastructure through code. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines are examined as key enablers for automating application delivery and ensuring consistent environments. The paper also discusses containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, which support scalable and resilient deployments. Additionally, monitoring, logging, and feedback mechanisms are analyzed for maintaining system performance and reliability. Challenges such as security, toolchain complexity, and skill gaps are addressed along with best practices for implementation. The study concludes that integrating DevOps with cloud-based automation significantly enhances operational efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and accelerates digital transformation.
