What is the concept introduced in the skill?

• Network Security

• Infrastructure as Code

• Cloud Computing

• Data Analytics

What is the process typically involved in traditional provisioning of physical infrastructure?

• Setting up a firewall, configuring network switches, monitoring server health

• Ordering a physical server, installing it into a rack, configuring the operating system

• Logging into a web console, creating virtual machines, installing software packages

• Using automation scripts, deploying virtual machines, scaling infrastructure

Which tool is mentioned as an open source utility for version controlling infrastructure?

• Azure Resource Manager

• Terraform

• CloudFormation

• GitLab

What is the benefit of using Terraform for infrastructure provisioning?

• Lacks version control capabilities

• Is proprietary to a single cloud vendor

• Works across multiple cloud vendors

Which service provides a managed Git hosting service with an issue tracker and automated pipelines?

• GitHub

• GitLab

• Terraform

• CloudFormation

What is the purpose of using pull requests in a version control system like GitHub?

• To track issues and bugs in the codebase

• To peer review proposed changes before merging them

• To directly commit changes to the repository

• To create automated pipelines for infrastructure changes

Which cloud vendor provides a templating service called CloudFormation?

• Google Cloud

• DigitalOcean

• Microsoft Azure

• Amazon Web Services

What is the main limitation of using proprietary templating services like CloudFormation or Azure Resource Manager?

• Works across multiple cloud vendors

• Provides advanced automation capabilities

• Limited to specific cloud vendors

• Open source and customizable

What is the purpose of using automated pipelines in infrastructure provisioning?

• To schedule and roll out changes on a periodic basis

• To manually make changes to infrastructure resources

• To track changes in the codebase

• To monitor server health and performance

Which tool allows you to provision infrastructure resources regardless of the cloud vendor being used?

• GitLab

• Azure Resource Manager

• CloudFormation

• Terraform
